Welcome! As the Chair of NCRA’s ER Task Force, I would like to welcome you to the ER Information Community of Interest (ER Info COI). The Task Force was created out of NCRA’s commitment to helping court reporters who find themselves fighting for their professional lives due to the incorporation of ER in their courtrooms. NCRA is also committed to fighting the evolving influx of ER in the freelance arena as well. Over the last year, the ER Task Force has worked diligently to promote court reporter value from coast to coast by developing materials and seminars that reporters can use in their daily efforts. Many of these documents can be found right here on this website.
In addition to these services, the Task Force has been actively monitoring ER cases across the country. When a region is experiencing a rigorous ER obstacle, the Task Force, along with NCRA staff and an outside marketing consultant, travel to that area to deliver its “Marketing Court Reporter Value - Train the Trainer” seminar. This presentation has been met with rave reviews. One of the largest goals for the ER Task Force is to educate NCRA members on the ER issue and on how to successfully compete in the record-making market.
Another project that we have undertaken is a letter to the editor writing campaign. On the ER Info COI, you are able to look through a letter repository filled with actual printed submissions and view sample letters to the editor. When anti-court reporting articles appear in news outlets nationwide, it is paramount that we respond firmly, passionately, and in a timely fashion.
I hope you take a moment to peruse the website and digest the information that is provided for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either me or the NCRA staff liaison, Nate Smith.
Again, thanks for stopping by!
Sincerely,
Paulita Kundid, RPR, CLVS
