The National Rifle Association's Board of Directors elected a new CEO/Executive Vice President during the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits at Dallas in May 2024. Doug Hamlin, a former U.S. Marine, was previously a publisher at the famed Petersen’s Publishing Co. in Los Angeles where he made his name under the Guns & Ammo and MotorTrend brands. Eventually Hamlin would extend his entrepreneurial and business acumen to building his own company, AutoMedia Solutions, before being lured back to a career of service at the National Rifle Association in 2014. For 10 years Hamlin headed the NRA’s Publications Division, growing the various NRA brands into their position as industry leaders.

Today Hamlin has one goal: grow the National Rifle Association. "There's no question that we've contributed to society, and we will continue to do so," Hamlin said. "We want you to go to NRA.org, join, get your friends to renew their memberships, donate to our organization, learn about the programs that are available, and support the organization. We need you to come home. We need you now more than ever before.”
