Interpreter Symposium
The Symposium will allow participants a forum to share ideas,
information and concerns regarding the interpreting profession, and will allow for an opportunity to create a plan on how to move forward on these topics.
January 2, 2009 - Friday, 7pm - 9pm
Presenters: Mark Seeger and Billy Collins - This session will focus on how to use systems advocacy to make policy and legislative change. Advocacy works to create change in organizations, service systems, or laws and is used to change policies of agencies, organizations or departments. Where the effort is directed will depend on the nature of the problem and which organization has authority over the problem area. This workshop will address the stages of systems advocacy and provide participants with the tools to impact public policy and legislative change.
January 3, 2009 - Saturday, 9 am - 5 pm - This forum will provides an assembly where peers may share important information and ideas that participant would like TSID to address. Once ideas are gathered the assembly will prioritize and break into focus groups and consider approaches to address these topics
