New York AG seeks to dissolve NRA in lawsuit accusing leaders of self-dealing, causing $64 million in losses

This is really common on the non-profit world. Everyone wants their name up front, so they get the credit and the cites in the news. Part of my job used to be building non-profit coalitions to try and make a stronger more unified case/front for change.

I spent so much time wrangling representatives from the larger groups, mediating whose name gets listed first on the press release, and dealing with twitter "leaks" meant to steal the coalition's thunder.

It was terrible.

Due to the size and influence of the NRA, they would be basically imossible to manage and just expect that everyone would bow down to them and basically do what they want. Lord forbid if a non-profit like that felt left out of anything. They would absolutely try to torpedo the initiative. Even if the initiative was inline with their goals.
