Why join NCRA?

The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) is the only national network dedicated to advancing the interests of court reporting and captioning professionals. As a member, you benefit from the power of the national network that includes a variety of discounts and access to networking opportunities and educational experiences that will give you a leg up on your career. For students, NCRA is an extension of classroom learning.

 

NCRA membership creates an element of accountability within ourselves. It’s easy to do the job, make the money, spend the money. But if you are involved or invested in something beyond ourselves, or in addition to other people, it allows you to hopefully feel motivated and inspired to get involved, volunteer, and give back.
