Episode 19 - Special Conference Series (3) - A chat with Tianlu Redmon

Jessie hosts Tianlu Redmon in the third installment of the ATA Chinese Language Division (CLD) conference series from the ATA65 conference in Portland, Oregon. Tianlu shares her volunteer journey, starting in local ATA chapters and leading the CLD with a “family-like” spirit through initiatives like monthly online socials during the pandemic. She reflects on the professional rewards of her involvement and her “gentle yet firm” leadership style, which inspired many to engage more deeply with the ATA. Tianlu describes her pride in seeing the next generation of linguists connect at the conference, including at the well-attended CLD dinner. Though stepping down as CLD administrator, Tianlu plans to stay active in AFTI and the certification exam program to support and mentor upcoming translators and interpreters.本期播客节目中天璐分享了她从ATA地方分会开始的志愿者之旅，并通过疫情期间的每月线上社交活动等举措，以“家人般”的精神领导中文分会。她回顾了参与其中带来的个人成长与事业收获，以及自己“温柔而坚定”的领导风格，激励了许多人更深入地参与ATA。天璐表达了在年会上看到新一代口笔译同事们积极建互动的自豪，特别是在CLD聚餐活动中的热情参与。尽管即将卸任CLD会长职位，天璐计划继续活跃在AFTI基金会和认证考试项目中，以支持和指导未来的口笔译同仁。
