REPORTS AT THE IPRS MEETING

Last summer I attended the National Verbatim Reporters Association (NVRA) Convention in Charleston and the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) Convention in Chicago at the request of the President of Intersteno, Mr Trivulzio, for whom I substituted on that occasion. Over the past years we have built up good relationships with the NVRA and the NCRA resulting in, among other things, representation in the Board of Intersteno, in the real-time competition jury as well as in the Education Committee. Americans perform well at our biennial competitions and they are ahead in technological development. I had the opportunity to get more insight into the working methods of reporters in general and court reporters in particular, as well as in the role the industry plays in the development of new technologies. During both conventions I met a lot of old friends and made many new ones. I hope that my visit to the USA will result in ever-closer ties with NCRA and NVRA and in a considerable number of Americans attending Intersteno/ IPRS in Paris.
