MCRA Mentors Program
MCRA would like to introduce to you our Mentors Program. We are offering this web page as a method to bring professional court reporters and students together, so that students can get the guidance and support they need. Many of our court reporter members want to play a part in the future of court reporters. We encourage all court reporters to take time to speak personally with students.
Guidelines for Prospective Mentors:
(As Adopted by NCRA)
• |
I respect my student's time, and I will answer e-mails promptly. "Promptly" is a term to be defined by the mentor and student. |
• |
I will try to guide my student by words and example. |
• |
I acknowledge that any views, opinion, guidance, or remarks I may make are personal and may not reflect the views, opinion, guidance, or remarks of the National Court Reporters Association, Missouri Court Reporters Association, or any other professional association. |
• |
I will notify my student when I am unavailable to receive/send e-mails. |
• |
I promise to abide by these guidelines. |
• |
I understand that my assignment as a mentor is voluntary. If I elect to discontinue my participation in the MCRA Online Mentoring Program, I agree to promptly e-mail my student of this decision. As a courtesy to my student and the MCRA Online Mentors Program, I will promptly notify Rhonda Laurentius of my decision via e-mail so that another mentor may be assigned to my student. |
