The National Assocition of the Deaf (NAD) is thrilled to share that a new online closed captioning is upon us - March 30, 2013. The NAD was a key leader along with other consumer organizations in the push the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) which requires access to online programming that has prviously been shown on television with captions. Following the passage of the CVAA, the NAD participated heavily int he FCC rulemaking process where the FCC established specific rules for the enforcment of the CVAA. The FCC published its rules for Internet captioning last winter and in the spring released a schedule of deadlines. For more information, go to http://www.nad.org/news/2013/3/second-cvaa-captioning-deadline-hear
This is a call for interpreter volunteers!!!! For some time the organizations have kicked around the question "If interpreters were asked to volunteer, would they?" In these debates some interpreters have argued the point that the act of interpreting is our livelihood and therefore we should be compensated for it, even by our professional associations. Others identify with the fact that without consumers we would have no livelihood in this field and within our own non-profit circles it is okay to give back by way offering a waived fee for service.
We think it’s time to offer the latter option to those who want to give back! If you would like to interpret for the IAD or IRID conference in a capacity of giving all or part of your time and talent we’d like to hear from you.
Conference Dates:
IAD Conference June 20-22, 2013, Champaign/Urbana, I
IRID Conference, October 11-13 2013, Sugar Grove IL
Does this mean those interpreters who work these conferences will not be compensated? No. Simply puit both organizations are looking to volunteer opportunities first.
This is a first for our organizations (or at least for as far as we can remember). This is also a time when our country is giving back and as a profession we think it’s a time when interpreters will have the desire and ability to give in this capacity.
If you are interested in this opportunity to give back please Click Here to Complete the Survey. The IRID and IAD Board thanks you for your consideration & partnership & we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming conferences!
So sign up!!! Thank you!
