Leglislative Forum planned for Houston \u2013 GHID<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greater Houston Interpreters for the Deaf (GHID) is hosting a Legislative
\nForum on January 16, 2010. Presented by Billy Collins, this workshop is a
\nreprise of the forum held in San Antonio in 2009. If you were unable to
\nattend that event, you may have heard the rave reviews from those who did
\nattend. This is an opportunity to catch up on what you missed!<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered\u2026 Who decided that we needed a specific certification
\nto interpret in a Court setting? And whose idea was it to establish a
\nseparate set of qualifications for Medical interpreting? And while we\u2019re at
\nit, why is it that K-12 interpreters must be certified, but not interpreters
\nworking in colleges and universities?<\/p>\n

Advocating change in policy and legislation is working within an established
\nsystem in order to create change in organizations, service systems, laws,
\nand policies. Although it is more work, a systems advocacy effort is needed
\nwhen policies or laws present a problem for a group of individuals and the
\nproblem is expected to recur continually. Where this effort is directed
\ndepends on the nature of the problem and which organization (or
\norganizations) has authority over the problem area.<\/p>\n

This workshop will address the stages of systems advocacy and provide
\nparticipants with the tools to impact public policy and legislative change.
\nSystems advocacy efforts can be demanding and challenging, yet an exciting
\nundertaking. The process requires care, thought, and commitment, but is an
\nendeavor where the payoffs are well worth the effort<\/p>\n
