2023 Volunteer of the Week- Diana Cholock

• Sold 327 banquet tickets totaling $144,000
• Sold 7 Individual Sponsorships and 3 Corporate Sponsorships totaling $16,900

"Since I became the Western Pennsylvania Field Representative, Diana has raised between half a million and 1 million dollars. After a committee voted to not have a summer banquet, Diana brought the committee together and replaced the banquet with a Standard Package Raffle. She even got the committee to still have a summer banquet because she knew the Friends of NRA program needed it.

Diana is very dedicated and attends each committee meeting to learn all aspects of all positions for local Friends of NRA committees and the State Fund Committee. She is also learning the duties and aspects of the Field Representative position. Diana works hand-in-hand with the Chairman to learn his position and is actually part of the PA's 1st succession plan to take over the committee when the current Chairman can not do so anymore. Even though Diana is the Secretary, she shares responsibility in running the banquets. Diana ALWAYS goes above and beyond.

Diana believes in our great program so much that she works with any and all Western Pennsylvania committees. She does whatever is needed and runs committees when they are shorthanded. This past year, Diana ran the finance tables for the Fay West, Tri County, and Clarion County Friends of NRA Banquets, along with the two PA's 1st Friends of NRA Banquets. In the past, she has also run the finance tables for Beaver County Friends of NRA and Erie County Friends of NRA. Again, she will go wherever to help any committee in need.

Not only does Diana help with several local events, but she also attends and assists where needed at State Fund Steering Committee Meetings along with the State Fund Meeting itself. She also is a local Rifle Team Coach that constantly supports and promotes our GREAT Friends of NRA Program. Overall, Diana is hardworking, professional, honest, dedicated, and passionate about making our Friends of NRA Program successful and growing it."
