Greetings:
As educators in the Sign Language Interpreting Program at
Georgia Perimeter College, one of the south’s oldest and most respected
interpreter training programs, we believe promoting interpreter education and
enlightenment is a top concern for the Deaf and interpreting communities. I am writing with a wonderful opportunity
for concerned and interested organizations and individuals to connect with sign
language interpreters across the Southeast as well as promote knowledge that
will pay off for everyone’s futures.
During the weekend of January 27-28, 2006, we will host the Interpreters
Unite: Symposium for Sign Language
Interpreters. This exciting
symposium will feature distinguished presenters, leadership training, updates
on national and state certifications, and so much more. Some confirmed presenters include the
current President of RID, the current President of NAOBI, and the RID Region II
representative. Interpreters who attend
will have occasion not only to gain CEU’s but also to receive both professional
and personal edification.
We are currently accepting sponsors for this exciting event,
and sponsors are able to contribute in any one of four categories:
Platinum: $1,000 – Above Gold: $500.00
– 1000.00
Silver: $100.00
– $500.00 Bronze: $50.00
– 100.00
At Georgia Perimeter College we have years experience
hosting workshops with internationally renowned presenters such as Peter Cook,
Gary Sanderson and Keith Cagle. The
weekend of January 27-28, 2006 will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the
most exciting and rewarding events for sign language interpreters around the
southern and Mid-Atlantic states.
If you would like to be recognized as a vital contributor to
this event, please respond by December 15, 2005 with your pledge. If you need further information, please do
not hesitate to contact me via email at
jplant@gpc.edu. I look forward to your support!
Sincerely,
Jean S. Plant
