June 18th, 2011  -3rd Saturday

NVRID Social was again a nice time to gather, chat and introduce friends we brought to meet our peers. Even though some regulars were on vacation, we had enough to fill our tables and keep us social through the allotted time. Thank you to all who came out -hope to see you again in August.

 

May 21st, 2011  -Boundaries (K-12); Intricate Interpretations (K-12)

Richard Brumberg -a favorite K-12, Educational Interpreter presenter came back to Las Vegas to discuss and work through some situations Educational Interpreters face in the K-12 setting.

Members had been asking for & so we provided; shorter workshops. It was members-choice of morning, afternoon, or both timeframes. Workshops and business meeting were all TELE-CONFERENCED to the NORTH

NVRID provided lunch (North and South) during its annual business meeting (in between the TWO-half-day workshops).

Thank you to all participants. Please let us know if you would like more partial-day workshops in the future.

 

April 16, 2011 -3rd Sat. Social at Macayos -West Charleston

There was a "card-check" to see who had their NVRID/RID card(s) on them. Congratulations to all who were ready :) "Thank you," to the generous person who picked up the tab on drinks. There were renewals taken care of and we had some new attendees.

 

March 19, 2011  -Teaming; personalities
This was the third workshop tele-conferenced to northern NV; glad to see the first attendees at that site.
Special thanks to ASL Communication for sponsoring lunch, YUM!! 

Alayne Berstler presented on Effective Teaming: To Understand and Be Understood." This workshop, teaching (among other things) about personalities, was well attended. A workshop participant stated, "The workshop was fun and interactive! I learned so much about myself, which will help me be a better team interpreter." -Nice Kudos for Alayne.


February 19th, 2011  -3rd SaturdaySocial at Macayos
We had a great time with many new faces. We even had to add an additional table or two (shhh...we still don't think the staff noticed) LOL. It was great to meet some spouses and friends of members. The socials are open to everyone. We just hope you'll let us know you are coming so we can reserve an area large enough. -Great going Nina and Michael: this event has grown each time.


 


January 15, 2011 "Vague Language" -RID Views cover story-2011

NVRID thanks Daniel Greene for presenting a wonderful workshop on Vague Langage.  NVRID also thanks its new members who drove up from Arizona to attend as well.
We learned many reasons for the use of Vague Language "VL," how to use VL, strategies for conveying VL, how RID's Code of Professional Conduct is satisfied by retaining VL. Daniel also offerred exercises to clarify VL, held a Q&A session, and open discussion. The discussion here has just begun...and continued into the most recent issue of the RID VIEWS. - Very Impressive, Daniel!


(Due to Post-Secondary-NV budget cuts, our tele-conferencing rooms' reservations were not approved. Thank you to DHHARC, Las Vegas for providing a room so the workshop was not cancelled).

November 20: "Breaking (&Entering) Into Legal Interpreting"


This was the second tele-conferenced workshop for this cycle.
Presented by: Xenia Fretter-Woods


We received practical information, learned how to prepare to take the RID legal certification test (legal certification is SC:L), practiced with vocabulary and legal phrases, and absorbed practical tips that will improve interpreting work in any setting.
- You might even say it was"illegal" to miss this workshop. :)

A workshop about every aspect of interpreting. A must-attend for every interpreter or student of interpreting. We hope you learned something to keep you safe: either in business, health, personal safety or other...
