"Mr. Emerick is the biggest voice for Friends of NRA. Dale has been a volunteer for 32 years and chair person for his committee for 30 years. Dale has two very successful banquets each year, including PA's 1st Friends of NRA, and runs the Western Pennsylvania calendar raffle. Dale travels to multiple gun shows where he promotes Friends of NRA and sells tickets and calendars. Dale works on Friends of NRA fundraising more hours than most people who work a normal job.
On top of running his own events, Dale will travel around Western Pennsylvania to help other committees hold events. When he’s not busy traveling Western Pennsylvania, Dale is deeply involved with his State Fund Committee where he also serves as the chairman. Dale has streamlined the grant approval process by getting a "steering committee" along with Pennsylvania's State Fund Committee. If you talk to anyone about Friends of NRA in Western Pennsylvania, chances are they will know Dale. Dale is also very involved in the Murrysville Rifle Team and his local shooting clubs.
Dale has not only been an asset for Friends of NRA, but he has been an asset for me as well. Since I was hired right in the middle of banquet season, I had a lot of questions. Every time I contacted Dale, rather it be call, text, or email, he always answered."
