USCRA President's Corner - the President's message to USCRA members THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER

“Overwhelming!” – The best word to describe MidYear in Chicago.

Attendance at MidYear in Chicago was the best in many years. The Chicago reporters hosted an extraordinary event. Our seminar presenter, Anita Paul, received numerous accolades. The large number of realtime testers necessitated a second seating. It was a huge success.

Also encouraging … USCRA membership renewals are excellent, and our fiscal integrity is robust – all at a time of declining association membership and attendance in all organizations.

Our next gathering promises to be one of our best ever: USCRA’s Annual Convention, in Key West, Florida, October 8 through October 11, 2009. Fun stuff, interesting seminars, two more realtime tests, and our realtime speed contest with cash prize

Half of my one-year term has now passed. Thanks for your encouragement and response. Look for more improvements as we continue to add vendors to our Purchase Discount Program and work feverishly to improve our website.

INTERESTED IN COURT REPORTING AS A CAREER?

USCRA focuses its attention on matters that affect court reporters who work in the United States District Court. The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) has a broader focus because they represent reporters working in all fields (i.e. freelance, deposition, official, captioning).

In this capacity, NCRA maintains a list of certified schools. If you are interested in pursuing a career in court reporting, USCRA recommends you check out NCRA’s website at ncraonline.org. Click on Education, then Schools & Programs. That will lead you to a page that outlines their certification process. You can also access their list of approved schools by way of a link on the left-hand side of the page.

If after reviewing NCRA's website you need further information about court reporting education opportunities, we encourage you to contact them at their toll-free number, 1-800-272-6272.
