In a press release soliciting nominations for the Santo J. Aurelio Award, a spokesperson for the National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) said the organization was looking to honor a "long-time court reporter who has given back selflessly to the profession or community."

To be nominated for the Aurelio Award, an individual must have been working as a court reporter for at least 25 years and demonstrated altruistic behavior throughout the course of his or her career. Nominees must also be either a participating or registered member of the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), or a retired participating or registered member.

"We all know people like this, so look around you and take a few moments and submit a nomination," the NCRF said in a statement.

The award will be presented at an "awards luncheon" on August 10 at the NCRA's annual Convention and Expo in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition to the Aurelio Award, the CASE Award of Excellence and Student Scholarships will be presented. Furthermore, the newest group of Fellows of the Academy of Professional Reporting and the champions of the Realtime and Speed competitions will be recognized.

Anyone interested in attending the convention should review the brochure available through the NCRA website, which offers more information about the four-day event's agenda, as well as registration details.

Several of the foundation's annual court reporting scholarships have already been awarded, with more to come. On June 1, the nomination period for a student internship scholarship will open. Two students who have finished or are currently completing the internship portion of their court reporting program will be selected to receive $1,000 awards
