**** Translator and Interpreter Sign-Up Form ****

During the Katrina and Rita Hurricanes many colleagues from the medical, sign language and other organizations of the interpreting and translation community expressed interest in assisting the non-English, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the LEP population and the government with competent interpretation and translation services.

Four years ago the federal government passed a law to create a National Civilian Linguist Reserve Corps designed to make the best use of people with translation and interpretation skills whenever a national need arises. Although it is the Defense Department that is charged with organizing the database of language skills, the NVTC is also participating so that those with language skills can either volunteer their time or be hired for occasional assignments before the next disaster strikes.

We encourage our colleagues from ATA, NAJIT, and other organizations that are interested in joining in these efforts and are willing and able to assist to sign up as soon as possible.
