What each work group will do
If you are DeafBlind or prefer to watch the video in a high contrast format, watch the DeafBlind friendlier ASL version instead. To adjust the speed, use YouTube's playback speed tool.
The Minnesota Commission of the Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing is looking for individuals to participate in Interpreting Forward 2030. Individuals can join one of the four working groups. The working groups are
- Research,
- Community Engagement,
- Interpreter Pathways, and
- Data Analysis.
Each group will focus on “how to increase quality and availability of professional interpreters services across Minnesota?”
The Research group will gather information from other states about their interpreting services. They will also gather information about the needs in Minnesota.
The Community Engagement group will interview and meet with people around our state, collecting their thoughts and ideas.
The Interpreter Pathways group will look at the process individuals go through to become an interpreter and ways we can make sure we always have a pool of high quality interpreters.
Finally, the Data Analysis group will analyze and share the data collected throughout the process.
Each working group will choose which two group members will attend two summit events.
The first summit will happen this summer, most likely in Rochester.
The second summit will happen this fall, most likely in Duluth.
The Dendros Group will facilitate and support the four working groups.
There is a document and ASL video called “Team Member Roles and Responsibilities” (coming soon) on the Commission’s website. It has information about time commitments and task list for each working group. It also explains how to join the group. I hope you will join us!
If you have any questions about this process, please contact our team, InterpretingForward@dendros.com.
