"We are so educated when we come to these seminars. NCRA gets great speakers. Learning new things at these conferences is one of the most important things to me. Even though I’ve been a reporter for 21 years, every time I come to a Conference I learn something that I did not know."

Margary Rogers, RPR, CRI, Official court reporter, captioner, and CART provider in Washington, D.C.
