The California Court Reporters Association (CCRA) is hosting its centennial convention October 15 -17, 2010 at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel. Huseby, Inc. has a number of office locations in California. Many of our California court reporters will be attending the convention.
The keynote address will be given by Amanda Boxtel, an inspirational and motivational speaker who has been seen nationally on “Good Morning America,” as well as on the cable TV networks ESPN and MTV.
The CCRA will have a number of continuing education unit (CEU) sources available. Members can earn up to 1.9 CEUs. These will be eligible for credit towards the eight hours of continuing education that is now required for California court employees every two years. There will be a number of workshops and breakout sessions available. Sessions will touch on digital court reporting services in the state courts, use of cameras, different advancements in court reporting technology and the use of audio back-up, among others. There will also be a special Student Track class which offers tips and fundamentals for passing the certification test.
Aside from education, it will be an opportunity for those from many different court reporting firms to meet each other, socialize and network. This will also be an opportunity for California court reporters to learn about and discuss one of the most notable subjects for their industry: The California state budget as it relates to court closures.
