THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Jill Albracht, RPR, CCR
Welcome to the Dog Days of summer! I, for one, am not complaining. I grew up
in South Texas and, frankly, need
this heat to thaw out from winter weather. Call me crazy, but I absolutely love summertime!
It is nice to bring good news for a change. Sondra Petersen, Placement Committee Chair, has done a terrific job advertising for official positions
in Nebraska. Two Positions we
were concerned about filling were in Norfolk and Dakota City.
I am happy to announce that both positions have been filled
with stenographic court reporters. Cynthia Foley is the official reporter for Judge Vaughan in Dakota City and Val Olson is the official reporter for Judge Kube in Norfolk. Welcome Cynthia and Val!
The 2011 Spring Convention was held in Omaha in May. Jane Magnuson and Julie Lammers did a great job planning the event. They are once again in the planning mode, this time for the NeCRA Fall Convention October 20 - 21, 2011. A reminder will be sent to all members once everything is finalized.
This will be Sonya Kennedy’s last edition as editor of The
Scribe. Kami Hooey has graciously volunteered to take over the responsibilities as editor. I would like to thank both Sonya and Kami for their tremendous contributions of time and talent given for the good of NeCRA and our profession.
Jill Albracht, RPR, CCR
