E114: Making Community with Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

The ever-changing landscape of working as a language professional prompts translators and interpreters to lean into unique areas and specialties. ATA offers a way to build communities around these interests in the form of officially recognized Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Similar to divisions, SIGs are a convenient way to provide ATA members the opportunity to build, connect, and grow with other linguists within their professional or non-working niche.   We are joined in this ATA Podcast episode by Robert Sette, CT, a longtime translator who works in many language pairs and is the founder of ATA's SIGs membership benefit. Tune in as Adam interviews him to hear more about ATA's current SIGs and what you can gain by joining or forming your own.   Show Notes: Mentoring Program: https://www.atanet.org/career-education/mentoring/mentoring-program/ ATA's Board of Directors: https://www.atanet.org/about-us/board/ ATA Divisions and SIGs: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/divisions/ Join Divisions and Special Interest Groups: https://communityhub.atanet.org/mydivisions Southeast Asian Languages SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/seal-sig-southeast-asian-languages/ Financial Translators SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/ft-sig-financial-translators/ Translators and Interpreters in Education SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/ite-sig-interpreters-translators-in-education/ Benefits of ATA Membership: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/benefits-of-membership/ ATA Membership Categories: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/member-categories/ American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education: https://www.aaite.org/ Join ATA: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/join-ata/ The ATA Podcast Archive: https://www.atanet.org/news/the-ata-podcast/ ATA Events Calendar: https://www.atanet.org/ata-events/ ATA Socials: https://linkin.bio/americantranslatorsassn  The ATA Chronicle: https://www.ata-chronicle.online/   Please send comments, questions, or requests about this podcast to [email protected].
