AVLIC President Christie Reaume invites all Deaf Interpreters and members to attend an AVLIC Deaf Interpreter membership criteria meeting on Wednesday, July 9, 2014 at 5:30pm during the AVLIC 2014 conference at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In the past, AVLIC has consulted with Deaf interpreters, members and Affiliate Chapters which recommended membership criteria for Deaf people to become Deaf Interpreter members of AVLIC. Since that time, AVLIC has been contacted by some Deaf Interpreters with feedback about the criteria. To address this and to gather even more feedback, AVLIC is hosting a meeting at the AVLIC 2014 conference. The meeting will be moderated by Nigel Howard.
All Deaf Interpreters are invited to attend; you do not have to be an AVLIC member to share your feedback on the AVLIC Deaf Interpreter membership criteria. In addition, there is no conference fee to attend this meeting.
If you are not able to attend the meeting on July 9, 2014, a video of your feedback can be sent to AVLIC Vice President Jocelyn Mark Blanchet by e-mail: vicepresident@avlic.ca
If you know other Deaf Interpreters who have feedback for AVLIC but they cannot attend the meeting, please forward them a link to the video invitation (http://youtu.be/z4BE-CeVjlA) and ask them to send video feedback to AVLIC Vice President Jocelyn Mark Blanchet by e-mail: vicepresident@avlic.ca
