About the event

NCRA’s Leadership & Legislative Boot Camp offers an immersive, hands-on opportunity for members to advocate for the court reporting, captioning, scoping, legal videography, and associated legal professions.

Attendees can expect to:

Participate in intensive sessions and training that will teach them the skills and strategies necessary to effectively advocate for their profession in state legislatures and in Congress;
Participate in real-life scenarios where they can put their newly learned advocacy skills into practice and network with other NCRA members who are passionate about their profession; and
Have the chance to visit Capitol Hill, where they will put their grassroots advocacy training to the test and advocate before their elected representatives in Congress and staff!

“To say I learned something would be an understatement. It was truly the experience of a lifetime, and I definitely have no regrets. The experience is invaluable. I will be able to take the skills I learned and apply them to all aspects of my job and life. I would do it again in a heartbeat.” Jennifer Vaillancourt, RPR, Winthrop, Massachussets
