Sandra Froman

In May 2018, Mother Jones published an article alleging that Froman worked to buttress the racist genetic theories of Noble Laureate William Shockley while she was an undergraduate and then as a student at Harvard Law. Froman claimed that she had been the secretary of Shockley's wife. When confronted with publicly available recordings of her conversations with Shockley where she advised him about publicizing his theories, Froman said: “I have no recollection of any of this. It’s just too long ago.”

Froman is a member of the NRA Board of Directors, on which she has served since 1992, and the co-chair of the Tim Bee Congressional Exploratory Committee. In 2007, she was unanimously elected to a lifetime appointment on the NRA Executive Council. She is currently a practicing attorney and international speaker. Her contributions also appear on WorldNetDaily and Townhall.com. She served as 2nd Vice President of the NRA for five years under Charlton Heston, two years as 1st Vice President, and was elected to the NRA presidency in April 2005. She completed her second term in April 2007. The NRA Bylaws limit presidents to two terms(Heston was made an exception).

Froman was raised in the San Francisco, California Bay Area, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics with distinction from Stanford University in 1971 and a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1974. She has been a practicing attorney since that time, has been a partner in three separate law firms and also taught at law school. Froman serves on the boards of the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona, as well as Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University.
