Pro-Gun New Hampshire elects new president

[Posted May 12, 2010, at 9:30 p.m.]  The Pro-Gun New Hampshire Council of Advisors met last night and elected a new president of the organization.  Former State Representative Elbert "Bick" Bicknell was the first president, with his first two-year term starting when the organization was formed in the spring of 2006; he was reelected in the spring of 2008, but now lives in Arizona. 

The Council of Advisors elected former State Senator and Senate Majority Leader Bob Clegg as our new president.  Bob, who is now a registered lobbyist, will be active within the State House in advancing our cause. 

After the presidential election, the PGNH Board of Directors met and voted to keep Bick on the Board as past president; since most internal business is conducted by email, Bick can remain an active contributor to managing the affairs of the organization.  Director Ed Naile, whose work as chairman of the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers keeps him very busy, agreed to leave the Board and assume the position of Advisor.  Therefore, the Board of Directors now consists of the following five Directors: The Honorable Bob Clegg, President; Sam Cohen, Executive Vice President and CEO; Hon. Bick Bicknell, Past President; Evan Nappen, Corporate Counsel; and Richard Aldrich, Director.
