Why the board of directors is so large?

Bob Barr, president of the NRA has column in this months edition of American Rifleman. In the article he attempts to justify 76 board members. Keep in mind that the average board size is 7-12 and board members are not responsible for day to day operations. They are responsible for strategic direction, financial oversight and compliance. In the article Barr attempts to argue that the NRA has so much going on that the need 76 board members. He specifically says that there are 42 committees overseen by the 76 board members. Hey Bob, why not 42 directors instead? Not considering that board members are not managers involved in day to day operations and should not be overseeing or actively managing anything, even 42 would be an outrageous number when compared to a normal board. This probably explains why nothing ever seems to get done. As I reside in Washington State I have never seen the NRA battling for my Second Amendment rights and those rights are essentially stripped now that we are going to be required to get a permit from the state to exercise said rights.

Bob goes on to say that "many hands make light work". As it turns out, many hands make light fingers. Cue Wayne Lapierre and all those board members who let him get away with theft.

Nice try Bob but your justification is a load of BS.
 
I'm in the same state and also chagrined at what's going on. Not only has the NRA left us in the dust, so has the Second Amendment Foundation. And THEY are in Bellevue. You'd think they'd defend their home state. I figure both NRA and SAF have written us off because we're a lost cause and they don't want to spend the money.

I contribute to both the SAF and the NRA. NRA because they are the organization of record for F CLass and I have no choice if I want to compete. SAF because I live in a fantasy world thinking somebody gives a shite. I should move across the border to America (aka Idaho).
 
The NRA couldn't see fit to send me, a Life Member, a ballot for this year's BoD election. Again. Yet, after the election I am now getting multiple emails, including one addressed to "Dear Unknown", pleading for money. Nothing has changed at NRA except a few, very few, names. There is a cancer at NRA that getting rid of WLP is only the beginning of the cure. Barr is clearly part of the old regime, ergo, part of the cancer.
