The EPS Reform Workgroup comprises Subject Matter Experts in the interpreting profession, community members and consumers of interpreting services. We brought together a diverse group of people from varying geographic locations, areas of practice, backgrounds and experiences in working with interpreters and consumers. This workgroup is not responsible for overseeing the EPS, only for developing the policies and procedures in accordance with the best interest of our members and community and with industry best practices. The work group was recruited based on specific knowledge, abilities, and experience they were able to contribute to this process. The EPS Reform Workgroup has a defined scope of work reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.
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.
