GTID Workshop and Meeting 4/29/12 – Beaumont

GTID General Meeting
and
Q & A: “Agency to Freelance”

Interpreters have always been asked where they “work”, along with the “pros and cons”. GTID, the Golden Triangle Interpreters for the Deaf, has been invited back for a second Q&A by Lamar University’s Signing Cardinals. This two-hour discussion panel will touch on the topic of the working environment and the career opportunities new and seasoned interpreters face every day. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of interpreters who have all worked as Freelance, Independent Contractor, Vendor, Employee, Staff and Owner, in a safe and informative
environment!

The LU ASL students are encouraged to attend the GTID General Meeting, prior to the Q & A, in order to meet members of the local Professional Interpreting Organization. Our field is diverse and growing exponentially;

come join us for an afternoon of shared experiences.
