Are you a new CSR? Would you like to attend the upcoming DRA convention absolutely free, including hotel and airfare? The Lisa Michaels Foundation (LMF) was formed to honor the memory of Lisa Michaels, Past President of DRA and Chase Litigation Services. During her 30-plus years of reporting, Lisa advocated and volunteered tirelessly for DRA, NCRA, and stenographic schools and students. The impact of her contributions to the profession are immeasurable. The LMF is dedica...ted to promoting the stenographic profession through scholarships, donations, and sponsorships. If you would like a chance to experience the energy, fun, and learning of a DRA convention, simply submit your name in the comments. The LMF will draw a name and announce the winner Wednesday, February 12. Looking forward to seeing you at the convention, and good luck to everyone!

Toasting Chase founder Lisa Michaels on her birthday. We miss you gobs and know you’re rockin’ the dance floor tonight!

The Chase team joined up with the Deposition Reporters Association for Norco College’s career fair. In addition to a great turnout, we got to introduce stenography to enthusiastic attendees. Our goal is to bring more visibility to our nearly invisible profession. Many thanks to DRA, Jamie Asbury, Devon Gualano Willard, and Melissa Davis for giving up a Saturday to help out!

We were treated to a special and touching visit from Lisa Michaels’ parents, and Best Dog Ever Lucy, who gifted us a beautiful portrait of Lisa. We are still sad and missing her every day, but now she will always watch over us. Thank you so much, Mom and Dad!
