Andrew Arulanandam the General Operations Director is the interim Executive VP/CEO. Per my SUPER SECRET INSIDE SOURCE this is standard line of succession stuff. The board has not yet met to select a new CEO.
Below is a quote from Charles Cotton (NRA Board President.) Bold and underlined is my emphasis. Am I reading into this, or does that not sound very "interim"?? I mean he is the guy who will call the vote and would have a REAL good idea who is on the short list.
Cotton said, “On behalf of the NRA Board of Directors, I thank Wayne LaPierre for his service. Wayne has done as much to protect Second Amendment freedom as anyone. Wayne is a towering figure in the fight for constitutional freedom, but one of his other talents is equally important: he built an organization that is bigger than him. Under the direction of Andrew Arulanandam, the NRA will continue to thrive – with a renewed energy in our business operations and grassroots advocacy. Our future is bright and secure.”
