The Arizona RID Professional Development Committee (PDC) is conducting a survey. We are asking all interpreters for their feedback as it relates to workshops, both in the recent past and the future. We are looking for feedback on what the committee has done well and in areas for improvement. We also want your input on what kind of workshops you would like to see in the future, along with who you would like to see presenting. We know your time is precious. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes, but we feel the information you provide us will be invaluable for planning workshops as we look ahead. To take the survey click on the link below. All surveys are confidential.

What is the point and how do I convey it? Analyzing the message to ensure a clear interpretation.

Often interpreters are concerned about “getting the message out” and end up processing at the lexical level to get all of the content conveyed.  However, the intent of the speaker/signer is sometimes not conveyed or the message is delivered in a way that the receiver understands the words, but isn’t sure of the point.  As interpreters, we know when this is happening, but we don’t know how to change it.  This workshop will focus on analyzing signed/spoken messages for the intent, content and meaning.  Techniques will be shared for how to convey an accurate and “clear” message.

This workshop is limited to 30 participants.

You must attend both sessions to get full CEU’s.

Presented by Cindy Farnham, MA, Master Mentor, Certified (RID, NAD, EIPA), is a freelance interpreter, mentor and trainer. She has her Master’s in Education and has been formally mentoring for 10 years.  Cindy has a private mentoring practice assisting interpreters pursuing certification and training other interpreters to become professional mentors. She serves as the Vice President of the Conference of Interpreter Trainers.
