ATIF Year III

Here we are, entering our third year as a Chapter of the American Translators Association, over 100 members, strong ties to the professional and educational communities in the State of Florida, and the determination to keep growing and providing the support our members have learned to expect from us.

We wish you all a very successful year in both your professional and personal lives.

ATIF 2012 Board of Directors
Int’l Medical Interpreters Association & ATIF

"It is great for Florida.

I hope that the IMIA and ATIF can work side by side in a collaborative way so that each promote each other's work and IMIA can serve as a resource to ATIF members that specialize in medical interpreting just as ATIF can serve as a resource to IMIA Florida members that want to broaden their horizons. Our call will be for all our FL members to support and join the only state association ATIF and we hope that ATIF will encourage their medical interpreter members to join IMIA which is the only national trade association for medical interpreters."

Izabel Arocha, IMIA President, February 2010
Florida Int’l University & ATIF

"Be advised that Florida International University, through its T&I Program, recognizes, endorses, supports, and commends ATIF and its devoted volunteers for their continuing effort in assuring that our profession continues to have much-needed organizational representation."

Eric Camayd-Freixas, FIU Modern Languages Department, December 2009
