Annual Report: 2022 in Review

by Bruce Williams / Monday, 06 March 2023 / Published in After Action Report (AAR), Announcements, Call To Action, Civic Engagement, Marty Brown Memorial, Shooting Sports
At the 500-yard berm during the 6th Annual Marty Brown Memorial™ Invitational at Camp Atterbury

In Twenty-Twenty-Two, Revere’s Riders has continued our existing firearms training, historic storytelling, civic engagement, and fundraising activities as in the past. What is changing for 2023 is our leadership. With elections at the end of this past year, we have installed the following new officers:

  • President — Bradley Settle
  • Vice President — Phil Brown

In addition, the new board elected past president Bruce Williams to an At-Large position on the new Board of Directors.

Revere’s Riders continues to recognize that ammunition costs have yet to return to previous levels by structuring many of our events to be “rimfire friendly“. Ensuring that our events remain affordable makes them accessible to as many as possible.

Finally, it is with great pride that we surpassed the $50,000 mark in total contributions to Ovar’coming Together (a central Indiana non-profit organization dedicated to supporting women diagnosed with ovarian cancer) via our Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events. Marty Brown was an instructor with Revere’s until ovarian cancer took her life in 2017; Revere’s Riders puts on the Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events in her memory.

2022 Achievements

  • Events: 32 (up from 30 in 2021)
  • States: 4 (same as 2021)
    • Indiana: 18 (down from 20 in 2021)
    • Pennsylvania: 8 (up from 7 in 2021)
    • Kentucky: 1 (down from 2 in 2021)
    • Wyoming: 3 (up from 1 in 2021)
  • Students: 176 (down from 300+ in 2021)
  • Post-Event Survey: every participant at a Revere’s Riders event receives a post-event survey asking about their experience. This helps us improve our events, learn how participants discovered Revere’s Riders as well as learn what type(s) of events participants would like to see us offer in the future. For 2022, we asked six questions pertaining to the quality of our events with allowed responses from 1 to 5 with 1 being “worst” and 5 being “best”. In 2022, we received 62 responses. The questions and average numerical response were as follows:
    • “How would you rate your overall experience?”: 4.9/5.0 (same as 2021)
    • “How would you rate the credibility, communication skills, and professionalism of the volunteer staff?”: 4.8/5.0 (down from 4.9 in 2021)
    • “What do you think about the value of the class given the ticket price?”: 4.9/5.0 (same as 2021)
    • “How effective was the marksmanship program at improving your skills?”: 4.7/5.0 (down from 4.8 in 2021)
    • “How effective was the civic engagement component of the event at motivating you to be involved in your community?”: 4.7/5.0 (up from 4.6 in 2021)
    • “How effective was the history presentation at connecting you to shared American heritage?”: 4.6/5.0 (down from 4.8 in 2021)
  • Social Media:

    • YouTube: 30 (up from 28 in 2021)
    • Instagram: 127 (up from 120 in 2021)
  • Website: we continue to make incremental improvements to our website. In 2022, we upgraded our server infrastructure to better support our site functionality and traffic load which still averages around 50 visitors per day. We continue to see site visitors from states where we don’t currently run events, a good sign for future expansion of our programs.
  • Elections: elections were held in late 2021 for the positions of president and vice-president in accordance with our By-Laws. Bradley Settle was elected president and Phil Brown was elected vice-president.
  • Board of Directors: Bruce Williams, past president, was elected to the board as an At-Large member.
  • Marty Brown Memorial: In 2022, Revere’s Riders donated a total of approximately $12,100 to Ovar’coming Together as part of our Marty Brown Memorial™ series of fundraising events. Our total contributions to Ovar’coming Together have now exceeded $50,000.

2023 Plans

2023 NRA Annual Meeting

The 2023 NRA Annual Meeting returns to Indianapolis in April. As Indiana is home to our most active group of volunteers, Revere’s Riders is planning on having a presence. What exactly that presence will entail is unknown at this time.

If you would like to meet with us at the 2023 NRA Annual Meeting, please contact one of the officers. We would love to meet with you, especially regarding establishing our organization in new areas of the country.

Marty Brown Memorial Events

We have surpassed $50,000 in total contributions to Ovar’coming Together via our Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events. By any measure, this is a resounding success. Revere’s Riders plans to continue the Marty Brown Memorial series into 2023 and beyond.

Come and join us for one of our 2023 Marty Brown Memorial™ events! Exact dates are yet to be determined, but we generally hold the Marty Brown Memorial™ Open for pistols in the spring, the Marty Brown Memorial™ Open for rifles in the fall, and the Marty Brown Memorial™ Invitational rifle match at Camp Atterbury (home of the NRA National Matches) in early November.
