Empower the Leader With - RID 2013

2013-08-10T16:05:00.001-07:00

Thank you to everyone who participated in the workshop that Gilberto Partida and I presented.

I left with inspiration to work harder and as I stated, with a commitment to promote my own work and take ownership for what part I can do. We have to acknowledge that although communication styles are different, we each still have a responsibility to do our part.

And so the commitment began Yesterday! I am moving forward with following my goals and my action plan and to continue to BE A LEADER.

I hope that everyone was equally motivated to jump in and get to work, to follow up on that idea that has been tugging at you, and to help a colleague or a mentee needing an ally.

I can't wait to see what we all produce!

Thank you again. Enjoy the 2013 RID Conference.

                                    TAKE ACTION            
                                   Caleb,
This morning Congressman Nadler re-introduced the Uniting American Families Act in the 113th Congress.
"Our immigration system has always recognized the value of keeping families together. But when it comes to legally married same-sex couples and domestic partners our immigration law says those families don't count." — Represenative John Conyers (Michigan) as quoted in The Hill
Congressman Nadler is familiar with the re-introduction process; he has been the lead sponsor of UAFA for over a decade. But this time, it's different. With immigration reform on the horizon, the support that we gather for UAFA in these next few months could make the difference for our families' inclusion.
In this critical moment for immigration reform, we need your help to get UAFA co-sponsors.
Last year, UAFA had the most co-sponsors of any immigration bill in the House or Senate. This record number of co-sponsors sends a message that LGBT immigrant families cannot be left out of immigration reform. Help us reach that same number of co-sponsors — and more — by writing to your Representative now.
Sending your letter is easy — we provide some starter text, you just include a few sentences about what UAFA means to you and your family.
Write a letter to your Representative today asking them to become a co-sponsor.
We'll keep you posted on our progress. And keep an eye out in the coming days for even more that you can do. Let's ensure that this is Congressman Nadler's last UAFA re-introduction.
Thank you for all that you do,
Julie Kruse
Policy Director

INTERPRETING VRS RESEARCH SURVEY

2012-09-18T19:22:00.001-07:00

Dear Interpreter Colleague:

My name is Dawn M. Wessling and I am a faculty member at the University of North Florida. I am conducting a research study that seeks to identify instances where client's emotional extremes have affected signed language interpreters in a Video Relay Service environment and to identify coping strategies used by the interpreter. I am collecting information via a survey about interpreter's experiences working within VRS environment during the previous 2 year period. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes and will be anonymous. I will not be asking you to disclose any information that would be a violation of the Code of Professional Conduct nor of your company's internal policies. Your name will not be retained nor will it appear anywhere within my data collection. Additionally, the company for which you work will not be documented. Participation in this study is voluntary and you may skip any question you do not wish to answer or leave the survey website at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which you would otherwise receive.

All survey information related to this study will be password protected and only available to me and to my Principal Investigator, Dr. Sherry Shaw. Any hard copy data collected via the survey will be stored in a locked cabinet in the offices of the Co-Principal Investigator on the University of North Florida campus. Any virtual data will be stored on a password-protected computer within my offices located at the University of North Florida.

I hope to be able to increase our pool of knowledge regarding the work that we do in this very specialized setting. My hope is that this study may lead to better understanding of the impact of this work environment and to gather tools that have helped interpreters continue to provide services in this needed field of interpreting. While there has been some research on the emotional impact of our clients upon interpreters and the process of interpreting, there has been very little research about the impact of the specific environment concurrently with the emotional impact.

If you are willing to complete this survey, please go to:

https://survey.unf.edu/survey/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D2002E7AE1

If you have any questions, you may email me at dawn.m.wessling [@] unf.edu or call me at 904.620.5200 (voice). I will be more than happy to answer any of your questions. You may also speak with the Principal Investigator, Dr. Sherry Shaw. She may be emailed at sherry.shaw [@] unf.edu or reached by phone at 904.620.1811.

The overall goal of the NCIEC Task Force on Trilingual Interpreting is to increase the number of qualified interpreters able to interpret between English, American Sign Language (ASL) and Spanish by enhancing leadership, determining effective practices around trilingual interpreting, and providing educational opportunities and related resources. A critical component to accomplishing these goals is the identification of the competencies and skills needed to successfully interpret in trilingual settings. One method for doing this identification is through conducting surveys.

The purpose of the surveys is to gather input from key stakeholders regarding the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for successful trilingual interpreting. We will be conducting surveys with: 1) deaf and hard of hearing consumers of trilingual interpreting services, 2) hearing consumers; 3) companies and/or individuals who hire trilingual interpreters; and 4) working trilingual interpreters. The estimated duration of the survey is 5-7 minutes and will be conducted via Survey Monkey.

At this time, the Task Force is seeking individuals who have two or more years of active experience working in trilingual settings. If you have this type of experience, we would like to invite you participate in this survey.

Your participation will contribute to advancing the field of trilingual interpreting. The information we glean from you will ultimately help interpreter educators better design curriculum because they will have a slate of evidence-based competencies and skills available for their use. In addition, the trilingual interpreting community will have a better understanding of the tasks involved in the work they do, and the Deaf Latino Community will have access to interpreters with greater skill.

Be assured that all survey information will remain confidential, and that no individual or company will ever be identified in the survey results or report.

On behalf of the NCIEC National Trilingual Interpreting Task Force, we would like to thank you in advance for taking time out of your busy life to consider participating in this important study.

Sincerely,

Beverly Hollrah

Re: Invitación a participar en una encuesta sobre la interpretación trilingüe

Estimado profesionista de interpretación trilingüe,

El consorcio nacional de centros de educación de intérprete (NCIEC) ha establecido un grupo de tareas nacional de interpretación trilingüe para seguir avanzando la profesión de interpretación trilingüe. El objetivo general del grupo de tarea NCIEC sobre la interpretación trilingüe es aumentar el número de intérpretes calificados y capaces de interpretar entre español, inglés y lengua de señas americanas (ASL) con mejorar el liderazgo, determinar prácticas efectivas con respecto a la interpretación trilingüe y proporcionar oportunidades de educación y recursos relacionados. Un componente crítico para alcanzar estos objetivos es la identificación de las competencias y habilidades necesarias para interpretar correctamente en los ámbitos trilingüe. Un método para hacer esta identificación es mediante la realización de encuestas.

El propósito de las encuestas es obtener datos de las partes interesadas principales con respecto a los conocimientos, destrezas y habilidades necesarias para el éxito de la interpretación trilingüe. Estaremos llevando a cabo grupos de enfoque de: 1) consumidores de servicios de interpretación trilingüe sordos e hipoacúsicos, 2) consumidores oyentes, 3) empresas o individuos que contratan intérpretes trilingües; y 4) intérpretes trilingües que hacen ese trabajo. La duración estimada de la encuesta es de 5 a 7 minutos y se llevará a cabo a través de Survey Monkey.

En este momento, el grupo de tareas trilingúe está buscando a individuos que tienen dos o más años de experiencia activa en interpretación trilingüe. Si tiene este tipo de experiencia, nos gustaría invitarle a participar en esta encuesta.

Su participación contribuirá a avanzar el campo de la interpretación trilingüe. La información que recojamos de usted últimamente ayudará a educadores de intérpretes adiseñar un currículo mejor porque tendrán una lista basada en pruebas de competencias y habilidades disponibles para su uso. Además, la comunidad de interpretación trilingüe tendrá un mejor entendimiento de las tareas implicadas en el trabajo que hacen, y la comunidad Latino Sorda tendrán acceso a intérpretes con mayor habilidad.

Esté seguró que toda la información de encuesta será confidencial, y que ningún individuo o empresa se identificará en los resultados de la encuesta o informe.

En nombre del Grupo de Tareas Nacional de Interpretación Trilingúe de NCIEC, nos gustaría darle las gracias de antemano por tomar el tiempo de su vida ocupada a considerar su participación en este estudio importante.

Sinceramente,

Interpreters Unidos
