Name: Jody Steiner on Dec 17, 2004State: MACountry: USComments: If we are welcoming PR as an affiliate, and always reaching out to interpreters of a diverse ethicity--- Spanish Language interpreting is a must. This is reminiscent of the debate of whether or not conferences should be conducted in ASL. Let's welcome and support our fellow terps for whom English is not a first language.Flag

Name: Elizabeth Henriksen on Dec 20, 2004State: DCCountry: USComments: I find it disturbing that RID would decide to implement this policy JUST before a conference in SAN ANTONIO where Spanish speaking interperters are more prevalent than any other region we have hosted a national conference!Flag

Name: Bonnie Gibson on Dec 27, 2004State: CACountry: USComments: I know several trilingual interpreters that are available - is this history repeating itself, only in a different language I have been a memver for 25 years and I remember RID having problems having ASL interpreters at every event. This can be worked out smoothly and efficiently.Flag

Name: Sharon Ditto on Jan 5, 2005State: ALCountry: USComments: As the population of Hispanics continues to grow in the US, RID should be on the cutting edge of providing services and training to deaf users of Spanish sign language. It may be expensive and difficult to provide access to the conference, but we demand the same type services every day for users of ASL on an individual basis. The stated number of 25 participants seems too high and arbitrary.Flag

Name: Jennifer Kaika on Jan 9, 2005State: MDCountry: USComments: If the Puerto Rico Chapter is a part of RID, then they should have the same access to RID sponsored events that other chapters enjoy. With the Views and testing not being in Spanish, the least that could be done is to provide interpreters for the national conference, which is only held once every two years. We need to think beyond the needs of the interpreters who need Spanish interpretation, and think about their deaf consumers in Puerto Rico. How much more would they benefit by having better trained and more knowledgeable interpretersFlag

Name: Lisa Chiango on Apr 17, 2005State:Country:Comments: In a Region of the United States that is hosting the 2005 Conference, there are many native spanish users in both sign and voice. Please make it accessible for these individuals to benefit from attending as Spanish is recognized as an official language, whether spoken or in sign language. Thank you for considering the petition.Flag

Name: Talia Goeke on Mar 15, 2006State: WACountry: USComments: Latino people are the fastest growing population in US plus now PR is an affiliate chapter. RID should have Spanish Lang terps even if only one person requests it--just like ASL terp requests. Would RID think it appropriate if a company said they would only provide an ASL terp only if 25 or more Deaf people requested one Of course not. RID should be consistant. Thanks.Flag
