This page of the website will link you to our Kudos! page.  This page was designed as ACRA's way of saying Congratulations to our Members who passed recent ACRA and NCRA certification examinations. 

The Jayed Art page offers you an opportunity to purchase a wonderful painting.  Jayed Art has partnered with ACRA so that we could offer this painting at a reduced price for our members. 

The Students Section of this site is a page for students to gather helpful information in their journey through school.  The page contains news, links, and information that are important to Alabama's students.  If you have any any news that you would like published on this site, please let us know and it will be published on the next website update.
 

ACRA Student Mentor Program

 


The Few.  The Proud.  The Mentors!



Yes, we're looking for a few good men -- and women!


We would like to hear from experienced Alabama court reporters, CART providers, and captioners who are willing to give something back to a profession that has given them so much.

Court Reporting is an exciting and challenging profession that provides a lifelong opportunity for learning and growth. With that philosophy in mind, ACRA has established its own Student Mentoring Program, designed to support Alabama court reporting students by offering them guidance, encouragement, and support.

If you are one of those special people who would like to help the next generation of reporters reach their goals, then we would like to hear from you.


What is required: An open mind and a giving heart... And an email account! You should be available to your assigned student and answer e-mails promptly. If possible, meet with your student at an ACRA convention or conference. Take your student to lunch. Send words of congratulations and words of encouragement when they need it. In other words, be a friend! You should set a professional example for students at all times.

With your commitment and support, you will enable a promising student to flourish and to one day join the ranks of our association of professional working reporters! They are eagerly looking to us to help fill in some of their blanks.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor for ACRA, please email Jennifer Kissic.


ACRA… Committed to Service!
