Renewing your NCRA membership means committing to your professional development and standing with a community that continually strives for excellence. At the recent NCRA Conference & Expo, President Keith R. Lemons, FAPR, RPR, CRR (Ret.), spoke passionately about the importance of the Association’s mission and the dedication of its members. “I believe in the mission of NCRA. I want to do what is best for all members and for the continuation of stenographic court reporting and captioning as being the gold standard of making any record. We are the very best in the record-making process, and I want us to share the riches of our honest endeavors and move forward together.” His words remind us that each member plays a vital role in upholding the high standards and professionalism that the NCRA represents.
Members like Patricia Nilsen, RMR, CRR, CRC, CRI, a freelance and official court reporter from Nashville, Tenn., embody the spirit of continuous growth that NCRA stands for. As the winner of the 2024 NCRA Speed and Realtime contests, Nilsen shared how being part of NCRA has inspired her to push her limits. “Competing at this level challenges me to keep improving. It’s not just about speed or accuracy—it’s about pushing myself to new heights both personally and professionally.” Her achievements reflect the benefits of staying connected to a network that encourages excellence and professional development.
