About the Empowerment Summit

Hosted by the National African American Gun Association (NAAGA), the NAAGA Empowerment Summit is a high-impact, members-only experience designed to strengthen leadership, sharpen skills, and build deeper connections across our national network, and empower—both on and off the range.

This is the one weekend where everything comes together—training, leadership, competition, and real connection.

If you’re a Member at Large, this is especially for you:

• Meet members and leaders from across the country
• Build relationships that can connect you to a chapter
• Get hands-on training you won’t get sitting on the sidelines
• Experience what NAAGA truly offers—beyond just being a member

If you’ve been meaning to “get more involved,” this is your moment.

This is where chapters grow stronger, leaders become more effective, and members gain the knowledge and confidence to take what they learn back to their communities.

Whether you’re stepping into leadership, refining your skills, or looking to deepen your involvement, this weekend is designed to move you forward—with purpose.
