PBC Businesswoman Christine Phipps Named NCRA President

The owner of Phipps Court Reporting Inc. in West Palm Beach, Christine Phipps, will be installed next month as the 2020-2021 president of the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), the country’s leading organization representing stenographic court reporters, captioners and legal videographers. Phipps assumes the role on Aug. 8 during the association’s “Connect 2020” virtual event.

Phipps, a court reporter with 27 years of experience, is only the second NCRA member from Florida to serve as the Association’s President in its 121-year history. She founded Phipps Reporting, which now has offices throughout Florida as well as satellite offices in 47 states. Her firm was included in Inc. magazine’s “Fastest Growing Companies in America” in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

“The court reporting profession has been so good to me and my family, and now is my chance to truly give back,” Phipps says. “I am honored to serve as NCRA president and look forward to working with the Association’s board of directors and all of its members to help further promote what court reporters and captioners do and the important roles they play in and out of the courtroom, boardroom and classroom.”

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
