Women For Gun Rights has announced that Robert Cekada, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), will headline a featured panel at the organization's 2026 National Summit Gala on Saturday, September 12.
Director Cekada will be joined by retired professional MMA fighter Michelle Waterson-Gomez and social media personality Vanessa Rosa. Moderated by our own Cheryl Todd, of Gun Freedom Radio, the three panelists will bring a dynamic range of experiences and perspectives to the evening's conversation.
"It sounds like the beginning of a joke: 'What happens when the ATF Director, a formerly anti-gun social media personality and a retired professional MMA fighter walk into a gala?' I'm looking forward to the answer!" said Dianna Muller, founder of Women For Gun Rights. "We are honored to welcome Director Cekada, Vanessa Rosa and Michelle Waterson-Gomez."
The 2026 National Summit Gala will bring together supporters, leaders and advocates from across the country for an evening centered on freedom, safety and the future of the Second Amendment.
