First things first — thank you! Whether you donated, bought a raffle ticket, or cheered us on, your support keeps the National Court Reporters Foundation thriving.
Highlights from this quarter? Our Veterans Oral History Day at the NCRA Conference & Expo even made Minnesota radio news! We celebrated our 20-Year Angels at a packed luncheon (proud to be one myself), and thanks to student registration scholarships and the Christine Phipps Family Foundation Travel Awards, more students and colleagues joined us than ever.
Don’t miss our Ask Me Anything ZoomUps and Peer-to-Peer Support Sessions — great ways to connect, share, and learn. And get ready: New student scholarships are on the horizon, plus Stenograph is generously funding a second 2025 Milton Wright Memorial Scholarship. Early next year, we are launching the NCRF Kim Dore-Hackbarth Memorial Student Scholarships and the NCRF Allison Hall “Shine” Student Scholarships.
We’re also rolling out a new Career Launcher Bonus Module on remote depositions and continuing to support colleagues through our Natural Disaster Relief Fund — all thanks to your generosity.
So pour a cup of coffee (or tea) and dive in — you’ll see the impact you helped make possible!
