Northeast Regional Report: March - April 2017

I joined the Show Recruiting Team in September of 2014 with high expectations of what we could accomplish as one strong, cohesive, working unit. Fast forward 2.5 years and I could not be prouder of what we have accomplished. During our time together we have reached many milestones which should make us all proud to be strengthening our great organization. Specifically, we have recruited or renewed over 56,000 members. What…An…Accomplishment! I would like to congratulate and thank all of the Northeast Recruiting team for your commitment to the NRA and your continued excellence in the field. It truly could not have been done without each and every one of you and your hard work and dedication to the NRA mission. I would like to recognize a group of individuals who have exemplified the meaning of commitment since I joined the team.

• Over 15,000 Members - Harry Jacobs
• Over 4,000 Members - Chuck Lehnert
• Over 3,000 Members - Andy Madura
• Over 2,000 Members - Allen Shireman, Gary Windt, Wayne Blank, James Lyon Jr. and Greg Sullivan
• Over 1,000 Members-Jeffrey Steele, Dale Emerick, David Maybach and Paul Mattson
• 100- 1,000 Members-Sean Byrne, David Simmons, Allen Schreur, George Rogero, Jon Smetana, Nick Merlino and Pine Tree Rifle Club, Chad Burkett, Lawrence Himburg, Ian Hill, Patricia Seifert, Rochester Rod & Gun Club (Emory King) and Penobscot County Conservation (Charles Rumsey)

During my time in the field, I have also experienced the fluctuation in our membership drives. I would like to remind you all that it will take our best team efforts to keep NRA membership on the rise in 2017. There is no doubt it will be tough, but I am confident that there is no better team out there than the NRA Recruiting Team. I know you all will take this challenge head on and continue to grow our powerful organization.

I look forward to watching the Northeast Region continue to grow as I work alongside our show recruiters as the new Industry Representative. As always, I am happy to assist you as best as I can. Keep up the hard work and remember to be prepared, be heard, and be seen.
