TCRA, on behalf of its members, has formally requested a public hearing to the Tennessee Board of Court Reporting in order that all reporters may have an opportunity for an open forum and dialogue regarding the licensure process and requirements. When TCRA receives a response, we will apprise our membership in a timely manner.
"Serving Together"
President Lisa Blake
"Serving
Together”, the theme of our upcoming annual convention in June…
Webster’s
definition of serving is "To freely choose to offer or give without being asked or obliged”. Thank you to our dedicated members who have done
just that, given so much of themselves and served our association so faithfully. Their participation and willingness to serve
in large part contributed to our long-awaited passage of licensure, as well as
a resurgence of our anti-contracting statute, just to name a couple. Each has played an integral part, all the
while continuing to report and spend time with their families.
It has been brought to TCRA’s attention that a misleading and
inflammatory email is being circulated to court reporters across our
state. TCRA has reviewed said
email, and it does contain erroneous information as to the scope and duties of
your association’s board and attributes blame for what is termed as
“far-reaching” aspects of licensure.
Your TCRA board has always and will continue to bring our members
the most current and up-to-date information available as we receive it. As all of our members are aware, our avenues
of communication are varied:
e-blasts, Web site, quarterly newsletters, Blog, Facebook page, and
Twitter! Our state association can
boast and be proud that we are one of the few state associations in the country
that is so technologically advanced.
