Kickstart tips
Spread this year’s theme of Peace, Love & Steno by asking your judge or the attorneys you work with why they love their stenographic court reporters and share their answers with pr@ncra.org.
Captioners, ask those you provide captioning and CART services to what they love the most about what you do for them and share what you learn with pr@ncra.org.

“There’s nothing more fun than promoting our profession by introducing what we do to potential students and the public, and Court Reporting & Captioning Week affords us the opportunity to shine as an organization nationally as we do this,” NCRA President Cindy Isaacsen, RPR, said.
“NCRA offers so many resources to help each of us either as individuals, schools, firms, and vendors, to share our message with others. If we can all do just one thing during the week to showcase the stenographic court reporting and captioning professions, just think of the potential impact we could have in spreading the word about the advantages and opportunities of this career,” she added.
