Emmett’s resignation is targeted for May 6, or another mutually agreeable date. A Texan, Emmett noted that most of his children will be living in that state and he has many political and personal friends living there.

“Not a day dawned that I regretted coming to work for the League” says Emmett. “The issues have be interesting and the staff supportive. Most of all, working with the leaders and members of the organization has been a blessing.”
