On August 15th, 2019, all NCRA members will have the ability to vote on proposed Constitution and Bylaws amendments.
As our C&B is written now, the state affiliation policy requires that a majority of the members of an affiliated association of NCRA (your state association) must consist of Verbatim Stenographic Reporters.
Amendment No. 7 seeks to REMOVE the language “A state association is eligible for affiliation if a majority of its members are verbatim stenographic reporters” from a state association’s eligibility for NCRA affiliation.
Removing that language from Amendment No. 7 will allow state associations to welcome electronic reporters to their memberships, thus opening the door for ER to infiltrate the NCRA.
There are many more reasons why Amendment No. 7 is a terrible amendment, but … enough said, right?
Please VOTE NO! to Amendment No. 7!
PLEASE VOTE, NCRA!

P.S. Please send this to ten NCRA members so that they know to VOTE NO! to Amendment No. 7, too!
