NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearms industry’s trade association, is pleased to announce that the National Conservation Leadership Institute (NCLI) has agreed to sponsor the 2016 NSSF Industry Summit at the Supporting level. Headquartered in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, the NCLI provides education and training to industry professionals seeking leadership positions within their organizations.

“We are very excited to have NCLI join us for this year’s Industry Summit,” said Samantha Pedder, NSSF Manager, Diversity and Outreach. “The future of our industry will depend on the strong leadership of the companies, partner organizations and government agencies. Programs such as NCLI are critical to help ensure that our leaders are prepared to face the challenges and opportunities ahead and ensure our success into the future.”

“The National Conservation Leadership Institute is proud to be a sponsor of the NSSF Industry Summit, specifically the ‘Start With Why’ presentation, as a part of an ongoing commitment to connecting conservation’s current and future champions with today’s leadership experts,” said Gina Main, NCLI Executive Director. “We believe that the work of preserving our natural resources heritage starts with the people part of the equation and through shared purpose.”

NCLI will be introducing David Meade of Start With Why, an organization that works to inspire business leaders and their employees.
