Monday, May 22 is NAJIT Advocacy Day. Join NAJIT in Washington, DC. Together our voices are louder and can reach farther!

NAJIT will be scheduling a group visit with Executive Branch offices and recommend interpreters and translators schedule appointments with their own legislators.

That is only one part of the process. The job starts now. NAJIT members received an invitation to be part of a survey on February 8. The survey will only be open until February 24! Show your commitment to our profession, to our colleagues, and to your future.
