Yes, friends, ACRA put on its Annual Convention, A Celebration of Success: 65 Years of Pride and Performance, in the heart of Scottsdale! It was a rousing weekend of informative speakers, amazing networking, heartfelt friendship and fun! I want to thank everyone who attended, participated, pitched in, and gave feedback. It was our first big event under new management, and we learned a lot along the way. I appreciate your patience as we get valuable practice and experience.

I am grateful for your evaluations. I am grateful for your suggestions. ACRA doesn’t just happen. It is a living creation on an ongoing basis. Your input helps us create it. And we intend to keep improving our great association to serve you better!

Watch for a more developed recap here soon. But for now, please be assured your Board and management team are doing our absolute best to deliver value and service to you and our great Association. Feel free to contact me or any member of the Board with concerns or suggestions or praise. Every member counts.

Have a great day!

Test Day. You studied while others were sleeping; you worked while others were loafing; you prepared while others were playing; and you dreamed while others were wishing.

TODAY IS YOUR DAY.

Stay calm and focused. You already write faster than you even know. Good luck!

BREAKING NEWS IN NEVADA!

SB 131 HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE GOVERNOR AND WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE 10-1-15!

SB131 increases the compensation for court reporters working in the courts. Their rate of pay had not been increased for 10 years, this increase attempts to bring that compensation up to a wage commensurate with their education, training, experience, and dedication to making and producing a record. Passage of this bill is in the best interests of all reporters working in Nevada and the profession as a whole.

This is your membership dues at work! If you’re not a member, we would ask that you reconsider joining with your fellow reporters so that we can continue working on behalf of the entire court reporting profession.
