Send IGA to Leadership Training!

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
We are excited to be reaching out to you to support our work and help strengthen IGA.
The three of us are making this appeal as leaders in the Interpreters Guild of America, an organization founded and run by independent judicial interpreters to help interpreters and advance our profession.
We all care deeply about our colleagues, the future of our profession, and the people with limited English proficiency that we serve.
The three of us have been fortunate enough to be selected to participate on behalf of IGA in an intensive leadership-training workshop taking place July 24th to July 30th, 2016 in Chicago. This challenging program is by invitation only and it’s an honor to be chosen to participate. We hope to apply what we learn to benefit the IGA membership and further the work we do.
While interpreters play a critical part in every aspect of the American legal system, too often we find ourselves marginalized and our profession undermined by greedy middlemen and cost-cutting administrators.
The Interpreters Guild of America organizes freelance interpreters across the entire state of California and nationally, to create solutions by interpreters for interpreters. This important training will allow each of us to grow our leadership skills and prepare us to build even more power to improve working conditions for all our colleagues.
We do need your help and support to make this happen.
If just 45 people in our network gave $40 each, we would meet our goal. Will you make a contribution of any size to help us hit that mark?
Please take a moment right now to make a contribution of $40 or an amount that is meaningful to you.
Your support is key to help us build solidarity and advance interpreter justice.
