The Convention Highlights of 1945 tell us that our Association in its early years was called Michigan Court Stenographers Association. 

Sometime before 1945, it was changed to Michigan Court Reporters Association. 

This wording was just adopted in 1991 as the wording for the National Association, which is now called the National Court Reporters Association.

Be that as it may, Michigan opted to change its name again in 1963, to the Michigan Shorthand Reporters Association, and again in 1990, to Michigan Association of Professional Court Reporters.
