“You Can Get There From Here”
Fresh air, beautiful landscape, raging rapids, and cute creatures of all sizes - what more could you ask for in a professional getaway? There are so many avenues to take in the interpreting profession, why not take one that leads you to Grand Junction! Our focus for the 2008 Colorado state conference is helping interpreters travel their road and arrive at their potential! Here is a glimpse down the lane of 2008 Conference. Find a workshop for every traveler with plenty on route.
Come break away early on Friday and join us for two wonderful workshops. Maybe you will want to release your stress from a long hard week with LaVona Andrew’s “What the &#%!” a workshop on interpreting profanity sponsored by Sorensen VRI. Or if you are still in the working mind set, you can join Chris Grooms for a look ASL Linguistics and the NIC written exam. Once your brain is full on Friday come fill your belly with a South of the Border buffet. We will embark on our voyage with the Marvelous Duo Keynote at the Bon Voyage Party.
Saturday begins the journey for those seeking their EIPA skills CEUs with Chris Grooms. For those interpreters on the path to NIC certification, they can join LaVona Andrew for a NIC Performance Prep workshop sponsored by Sorensen VRI. If neither of those workshops fit the path you are on, you can join Amie Seiberlich with a workshop on interpreting phobias and how to conquer the fear. Saturday afternoon will bring roads of “Middle East Vocabulary” with Adan Penilla, continuation of the EIPA skills track, and a CDI workshop presented by Murag McDonald.
Interpreters come from all over the nation and from every walk of life. Whether Polynesian, Virginian, African, Texan, or European, we all have cultural influences that have lead us to this point in our journey. Show off your heritage and pride at our Travelers Banquet Saturday night. Following the Travelers Banquet, the Marvelous Duo will entertain us with deaf and hearing perspectives through the eyes of twins.
Before heading down the highway, venture one more workshop on voicing with LaVona Andrews or finish your path with Chris Grooms and the EIPA skills track.
