Spring Hill, Tenn. — The Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) has tapped outdoor industry veteran Jay Stuart to serve as the organization’s director of sales and marketing.

A marketing, sales and partnerships veteran with more than three decades of experience in the hunting, recreational shooting and fishing markets, Stuart brings a full suite of skills, savvy and vital relationships to support the USA’s efforts to unite labor union members for conservation and community service.

“Jay offers our team a wealth of knowledge and experience,” said USA CEO and Executive Director Scott Vance. “His reputation in the outdoor industry is second to none, and we’re looking forward to growing our partnerships and mission delivery with his leadership.”

Stuart’s career includes three years as national sales director for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), where he established a stellar record for identifying and developing alliances that supported BSA's mission and strategies for short- and long-range growth. He also served Remington Arms for more than a decade, in capacities including director of business development and vice president of key account and national conservation sales.

Stuart’s personal passions parallel the USA’s founding principles. He is a diehard proponent of introducing youth to hunting and the shooting sports, preserving the nation’s outdoor heritage and protecting Americans’ rights and freedoms, including those guaranteed under the Second Amendment.

“I am excited to be part of a fast-growing conservation organization that is dedicated to improving people’s lives, continuing our treasured outdoor traditions and conserving our natural resources for future generations to enjoy,” said Stuart. “I look forward to leveraging my extensive network of contacts in the shooting, fishing and outdoor brands to bring even more industry leading partners together in support of the USA’s mission.”
