REGISTER NOW FOR THE 2012 TECHNOLOGY SEMINAR
Welcome to the dynamic website of GSRA!
As you ring in the new year with attempts to put in practice New Year’s resolutions, GSRA has made a few of its own!
Board members have been busy working on a laundry list of duties to ensure that our members continue to receive all the benefits that they deserve from their 2012 tax deductible membership. Along with the normal business-as-usual duties, here are the top three most recent announcements from GSRA.
Our number one priority for the first quarter is fighting back the introduction of a bill during the 2012 General Assembly purporting to disassemble the court reporting fee schedule for official court reporters in Georgia. Funds from GSRA’s Georgia Defense Fund, which was established in late 2010, are being utilized to enlist the services of government affairs professionals. We have engaged the Government Affairs Division of the law firm Hall Booth Smith & Slover to represent the interests of all Georgia court reporters during the current session of the General Assembly. These heavy hitters will have their ears to the ground, ensuring that our voice is heard and that our interests are protected in this current legislative session.
Please visit our Current Events Section often as well as our Advocacy Section to bring yourself up to date with news regarding Georgia court reporters and the current legislative session!
