How is NCRA affiliated with Intersteno?
NCRA is honored to be the national group officially designated by Intersteno to represent the United States. As such, NCRA is a member of the Intersteno Council. Our representation is made possible by funding from NCRA.
How can I get involved?
NCRA’s Intersteno Committee shares its knowledge about stenographic court reporting and captioning with the global community through an Intersteno group called the Intersteno Parliamentary and Other Professional Reporters’ Section.
In addition, NCRA members are invited to participate in Intersteno’s bi-annual Congress and its yearly international Internet Keyboarding Contest.
In 2017, several NCRA members traveled to Berlin to attend the Intersteno Congress.
