Distinguished Service Award

Nominations open Jan. 1, 2025.

The purpose of the National Court Reporters Association Distinguished Service Award is to encourage and to recognize work amounting to distinguished service by individual members of the National Court Reporters Association for the benefit of the reporting and captioning professions. That may include members who have worked in the background for many years to further the goals of our profession; who have devoted endless hours to NCRA or state association affairs; who have contributed articles to the JCR; or who have been active in the legislative or public relations fields over the years.

The committee may direct that the name of any candidate or candidates not selected be carried forward for consideration by the next year's DSA committee. To make sure your candidate remains on the list, please submit his/her name each year!

Nominations for the DSA may be submitted by NCRA voting members or by affiliated court reporting associations. See below for candidate criteria.
