Exhibitors / Sponsors
The NCIHC has been a national leader in promoting and enhancing language access in health care since the first meeting of concerned advocates took place in Seattle, Washington in 1994. While the field of medical interpreting has grown exponentially since then, the NCIHC continues to be distinguished for their leadership, quality and integrity.
Sponsorship of NCIHC’s Annual Membership Meeting (AMM) provides an exceptional opportunity to showcase your company’s products, services, and commitment to language access in health care for limited English proficient individuals. The focus of the AMM lies in health care, yet also touches the larger related realms of social services, education, immigration, courts and the legal system, and services of all kinds to refugees and immigrants.

Event Description
At the 14th Annual Membership Meeting, we will look at the issues of trauma, language, and social justice through the lens of health care, and healthcare-related, interpreting. As we immerse ourselves in 2021, we leave a tumultuous year in which, as a field, we supported the pioneering efforts to gain a foothold in educational settings; promoted gender-neutral language; and supported our colleagues in California fighting for worker’s rights, among so many other activities.
This work is not without its challenges and often faces strident opposition. We know that interpreters often work in less than ideal settings, and often interpret very challenging exchanges. As interpreters, we understand the importance of language, and indeed of a single word, especially when the consequences can be life-changing. Encounters such as these can be emotionally triggering, especially on top of events taking place on the national landscape from which none of us are immune.
As the mission of the NCIHC is one of social justice, we believe in the power of language to transform lives. Join us for the 14th AMM to explore issues related to trauma -- both physical and mental, both past and present; language and, ultimately, how we can promote social justice in our communities.
