The Value of Pro Bono and Giving Back

I was able to turn in the pro bono transcripts today - got the proofing back and was able to scan the exhibits. It was a pretty transcript! And I already got the "thank-you" notes from three of the five students. THIS is what makes volunteering so amazing. It feels good to share what we do with others. It may not "make you any money" but the goodwill that these students will take with them and the positive attitude that they have toward court reporters will stay with them in their minds through their careers. That is priceless. They will see us as a teammate in protecting the record and look to us to ensure the quality thereof. PRICELESS.
