Join us on Saturday, January 14, from 1 p.m. to  4 p.m. for the first AATIA meeting of 2012.

Find out what it takes to pass the Federal Court Interpreter Certification Examination (FCICE).

Our colleague, Maurine McLean, is a Federally Certified Court Interpreter as well as an instructor for the Court Interpreting Class at ACC. She has graciously agreed to share with us her tips on how to prepare for this exam. She is creative and resourceful, and even if you are just a beginner (it is never too early to prepare), this is a presentation you do not want to miss!

So come see your fellow AATIA members, learn some valuable tips, and catch up after a busy Holiday Season. As always, delicious refreshments will be served.

The meeting will be held at AATIA headquarters, 201 East 2nd. Street, Austin, TX 78701. See you there!
  

Join us this coming Saturday, December 10th, from 4 to 6 p.m. for a holiday social at Casa Chapala Restaurant, 101 San Jacinto, around the corner from the AATIA office at the International Center of Austin.

Bring an unwrapped gift for our first annual community charity drive benefiting Any Baby Can, a nonprofit organization that serves children with special needs. Download flyer for more information and gift ideas.
