STRONGER TOGETHER
Mary Mays, CCR, President, Alabama Court Reporters Association
Does anyone disagree with that statement? ACRA is YOUR association, not just mine, not just the Board’s. That is why we need to view this as team work. And ACRA wants you on our team! What does that involve? Serving on a committee, giving us feedback, suggestions, or ideas. The Board of Directors is a SMALL group of members putting our heads together and striving to grow this association. Help us help you! Please! Since our board meeting in April, several things have come to light thanks to members reaching out to one of us and saying, hey, we need to make some changes here. And I want to say thank you to those who stepped up and revealed some areas where they felt we were lacking.

Congratulations to Alabama’s newly certified court reporters
