The next membership meeting of the AATIA will feature a special presentation by Jorge Ungo, Southwest Region Manager for Pacific Interpreters, current President of the Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators (TAHIT), and a board member and membership co-chair of the National Council on Interpreting in Healthcare (NCIHC). From wikis and blogs to social bookmarking – this presentation will demystify the world of the Web 2.0 to demonstrate how translators and interpreters can connect more effectively with colleagues and share important tools and resources.

At the meeting this Saturday, the candidates for the 2010 board will share their platforms and plans. Don’t miss this opportunity to inform yourself in preparation for the upcoming on-line election.

In recognition of the contribution to our profession by St. Jerome, the patron saint of translators, Michael Blumenthal will discuss the historical significance of the principle translator of the Vulgate Bible, share some lessons his work can teach, and announce plans for the International Translation Day celebration.

Please join us at the ICA office on September 12th at 1 p.m. for fun, facts, and food.
