What to expect

What can you expect at the Community Input Session? This session is a platform for you to share your insights, ideas, and experiences related to interpreting. We will share information about the coming shortage of interpreters across the state (and country) and together we will generate ideas for improving the quality and availability of services. Together, we aim to shape the future of interpreting in our communities.

And don’t worry about refreshments-we got you covered. Drinks and snacks will be provided to keep you energized throughout the sessions.

We can’t wait to see you there and get your input. Together, we’re working to improve interpreting services across our state. More locations across the state will be announced soon.
