The ATA Chronicle - January/February 2022 - 5

from our Professional
Development Committee,
so watch for upcoming
webinars, workshops,
and courses to help you
in various areas of your
professional work. In
addition, our Membership
Committee will be sharing
a new membership survey,
so please be sure to fill it
out and let us know what
benefits you enjoy and what
improvements we can make
to our programs.
Working to refine and
improve our member
benefits will be an
ongoing effort, and I
will continue to look to
you to offer feedback
and ideas.
Advocacy: Our Advocacy
Committee continues to find
ways to support professional
translators and interpreters,
working diligently behind the
scenes. You can expect to see
more from this group to help
you effectively communicate
with your local legislators
and advocate for professional
translators and interpreters at
both local and national levels.

I'm already looking forward
to welcoming you to my
sunny Southern California
this year!
Finally, as we all look
forward to what's to come in
2022, I would like to
personally thank every
volunteer who contributes
time and expertise to our
many valued programs.
Without your help, we would
not be able to enjoy so many
benefits as ATA members. I
would also like to thank our
staff at ATA Headquarters for
implementing the many ideas
and projects we come up with
as ambitious volunteers! It
truly is a team effort.
