| | NSSF Adds to Communications Staff The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is pleased to announce the addition of two new communicators to its staff. Gary Mehalik has joined NSSF as vice president of communications and Paul Erhardt comes on board as director of public relations. Gary, formerly marketing manager at Taurus International Firearms, has an exceptionally wide range of communications experience from the advertising, marketing and public relations side to media relations including stints as a TV news producer and newscaster and spokesperson. In part, Gary will be responsible for developing and coordinating all communications and public relations for the NSSF with special emphasis on working with national media on a range of key industry issues. Most recently, Paul worked for Rossé & Associates as an account executive handling a range of creative assignments for companies including Alliant Powder, Bismuth Cartridge, and SIGARMS. Paul will focus his efforts on developing outreach campaigns that inform and educate the public of key NSSF initiatives and also ensure that such activities are effectively publicized to our members and the hunting and shooting sports community.
