The NRA is seeking a new Chair of the Association

National Rifle Association
David Lacey’s term of office as the Chairman of the Association is due to expire in February 2026 after two successful terms.
The election of a new Chair of the NRA will take place at the 2026 February meeting of General Council.
The Chair shall be elected for a term of up to three years, and shall hold office until the conclusion of the meeting of the General Council at the end of the term of office, unless a new appointment has been made before such meeting of the General Council. The Chair in office may stand for re-election, but only so far as his total period in office will not exceed six years.
Any two members of General Council may nominate any other Registered Member or Associate Member of the Association for Chair by giving notice in writing to the Secretary General.
We will be pleased to receive nominations of NRA members for the position of Chair; please contact a member of the General Council to discuss the role. Their contact details can be found on the NRA website https://nra.org.uk/who-are-we/about-the-people/
Nomination and application forms are available to download below or can be requested from Georgina Thatcher georgina.thatcher@nra.org.uk; the deadline for nominations is midday Friday 30th January 2026
