UPCOMING EVENTS
NCRA'S STATE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE


MCRA's representatives Linda Dattilo, Karen Rottmann, and Melissa Hannah attended the NCRA sponsored 2017 State Leadership Conference.  NCRA's online magazine, JCR, reported,  "Beyond a doubt awesome," said Linda M. Dattilo, RPR, executive director for the Missouri Court Reporters Association, of the new regional focus. "I attended the [national-level] NCRA State Leadership Conference many years ago and NCRA Legislative Boot Camp, and I got far more out of this conference. Perhaps it was the smaller number of attendees or the terrific leaders who put the conference on. All I know is I have a lot of ideas now for the Missouri Court Reporters Association that I can't wait to get working on." - See more at: http://thejcr.com/2017/05/30/small-group-big-learning-at-the-ncra-state-leadership-conference/#sthash.rRaClblb.ehumwyvm.dpuf
