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

I would like to thank everyone who attended our November 9, 2018 Annual Member Meeting and Installation of the new Board and Officers. Thank you, Lois McFadden, for leading this association in such an exemplary way. I agree with what so many others have said, I have big shoes to fill because you are not going to be an easy act to follow. Thank you to all of the outgoing board members for the dedication of your time, talents and leadership. It's been some of the finest I have ever seen.

Thank you to our new board and officers. We have lots of work to do, and there is no one else I'd rather be working with.

I am honored, energized and optimistic to lead this great Board and Association as your CCRA-NJ President for this next term. Today is a new day, as are the next 729. I do not intend to waste a single one. As those who were in attendance last night heard, there are some exciting plans and goals already being put into motion which will help set the tone for shaping the next two years.

Thank you to our new board and officers. We have lots of work to do, and there is no one else I'd rather be working with.

Stay tuned, Folks!
Mark Renzi
CCRA-NJ President
