As professionals in a trust profession, what we say and do within any interpreter-related activity or discussion could have a tremendous and far-reaching impact on our consumers, especially those who are members of marginalized and oppressed communities. Our consumers deserve professionalism, accountability and integrity in all aspects from sign language interpreters.
RID’s purpose is to serve equally our members, profession, and the public by promoting and advocating for qualified and effective interpreters in all spaces where intersectional diverse Deaf lives are impacted.
