For 2017, A Historic NRA-ILA Leadership Forum

For the past decade, NRA-ILA has sponsored leadership forums that have allowed our members to hear directly from national leaders.  Next Friday, that tradition continues and the line up of speakers is top notch.

President Donald J. Trump will become the first sitting President to speak at an NRA Annual Meeting since Ronald Reagan. We are honored that President Trump agreed to address NRA members at our NRA-ILA Leadership Forum.

While having the President in attendance is historic, the lineup of speakers is a testament to the dedication of NRA members, the work it takes to elect pro-Second Amendment leaders, and is a demonstration of how our support is valued by our national leaders.

Those speaking next Friday:

Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke

Texas Senator Ted Cruz

Georgia Senator David Perdue

Alabama Senator Luther Strange

Florida Governor Rick Scott

Milwaukee Sheriff David A. Clarke

Lt. Col. Allen West

Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt

Louisiana Representative Clay Higgins

Campus Carry Advocate Antonia Okafor

And of course, attendees will also hear from NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox.

There is no doubt that the ILA Forum will be one of the highlights of the 2017 NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits.  For more information or to buy tickets, please click here
