Audits being conducted by the New Jersey Department of Labor are threatening the livelihood of every licensed court reporter and captioner in this state. CCRA-NJ is asking for your financial support so that we can achieve a favorable outcome through the courts to prevent the DOL from destroying the fundamental principle in our field of the independent contractor.

A Message from the CCRA-NJ President

Welcome to CCRA-NJ’s fresh, new website. The committee of Camille Horner, Robin Vance, Jennifer Billstein-Miller and myself have worked hard, along with Tim Bower, to get it up and running. Please bear with us as we overcome some of the final tweaks, and please feel free to tell us if you like it!

This year our organization is celebrating its 80^th year. In 1938, a forward-thinking group of court reporters decided to form a professional association whose sole aim was to promote and defend the reporting profession. Here we are, 80 years later, still involved with the same goals and ideals in mind. Imagine the look on the faces of our forefathers if they could watch us instantaneously send the written word around the world over the Internet. I’m proud to admit that CCRA-NJ is still the standard-bearer, unrelenting and pertinacious in our mission of upholding their legacy.

CCRA-NJ is the only organization that represents you, the Certified Court Reporter of NJ. I’m often asked, Why should I join CCRA-NJ? We are a community that cares about what happens to our profession and cares about our fellow reporters. We are committed to fight against the threats to our members and association. Our board is composed of dedicated reporters who assiduously monitor trends in the reporting world. We provide enrichment, networking and educational opportunities. We are leading introductory classes to get new students interested in the court reporting field. We provide thought-provoking, inspirational and excellent conventions and seminars with a wide variety of topics.

If you’re not a member, I ask, Why not? We as reporters have an obligation to leave the profession better than we found it. We are a committed, passionate, caring and friendly group, and we’d welcome your suggestions, volunteerism, membership and service to CCRA-NJ.
