The Deaf Missions Christian Interpreters Conference is just around the corner. Mark your calendars for April 7 - 10, 2011, and plan to be in Council Bluffs, Iowa! The conference will not only offer solid interpreter training with CEUs for most everything on the schedule, it will also deal with specific issues that may be faced by a Christian interpreter in ministry settings. Our featured presenters will be David Reynolds, Actor and Deaf Advocate; DeAnn Sampley, Interpreter Educator; Pam Warkentin, Nationally Certified Legal Interpreter and CODA; Rosemary Diaz, Certified Deaf Interpreter; and Dr. Francis Casale, Deaf-Blind Pastor to a thriving Deaf church in California.
Registration will open in January (watch for details about online registration). Plan to register early for the best value. Registration cost will be $130 for the early-bird rate (available Jan. 1 - Feb. 15), $160 if registering Feb. 16 - Mar. 31, and $190 if registering Apr. 1 or after.
