The Benefit of Professional Organization Membership

The profession of interpreting requires that Interpreters continually develop their skills and knowledge.  Being a member f a professional organization can alleviate the cost of seminars and webinars alike.

The International Medical Interpreters Association is one organization that I pride myself in being a member of.  Aa a member you can build a profile for potential employers to view.  In addition, IMIA offers many seminars and webinars for interpreters to partake in.  Many of these free of charge to its members.

Maintaining a certification requires you to continually attain new skills and refresh the old.  So, if you are a professional interpreter and have not joined an organization, I urge you to join one of the many organizations like the IMIA.  The benefits surpass the cost of membership.  Furthermore, you'll never have to research trainings and seminars in order to keep your professional certification.
