Association Description |
|
(EPITA) was officially begun on February 9, 1984 in El Paso, Texas, under the name of Texas Association of Court Interpreters and Translators (TACIT). In March of 1987, the membership approved a bylaws amendment for a name change and TACIT became TexasInterpreters and Translators Association (TITA). The word "COURT" was dropped as it was felt that many interpreters and translators not actually employed by the courts were reluctant to approach us. Finally, in October of 1993, the membership voted to approve the name change to our present name: EL PASO INTERPRETERS AND TRANSLATORS ASSOCIATION. The purpose of this change was to free the Texas Interpreters and Translators Association name in the event of an umbrella organization for all Texas associations became a reality.
Who can be a member?
Membership is open to any individual engaged in interpreting, translating, or closely related work who desires to improve his or her skills and knowledge, or any individual who desires to support the association or has an interest in interpreting and translating (voting member).

The Finnish American Translators Association (FATA) was formed for the purpose of promoting and facilitating the translation of fiction and non-fiction from Finnish into English and vice-versa. FATA is a non-profit organization without pecuniary profit to any officer, director, or member.
The FATA Organizational Meeting was held at FinnFest 1989 in Seattle. The Annual Meetings of the Membership are typically held in connection with FinnFests (an annual festival of Finnish-Americans held in communities that have a large enough population of Finnish descent to run the Festival).
Since the beginning, FATA has published three collections of member translations (FATA Annual I, II, and III) and a number of individual works. Finlandia Foundation has provided invaluable financial support for FATA's publication efforts. FATA members have available to them an ISBN prefix, a series of numbers which gets their publications listed in the Bowker index.

HITA was established in 1993 to create a forum for individuals, businesses and institutions interested in sharing their experiences, to promote the interests of translators and interpreters in Houston and surrounding areas, and to serve in cooperation with other regional and national organizations in the recognition of translation and interpretation as professions.
Freelance interpreters and translators usually work alone, without coworkers for support and guidance. The Association gives us an opportunity to share our experiences with others in our profession, and to learn about tools, information, and resources to improve our professional qualifications, provide better service to our clients, and help our businesses grow.
HITA is governed by its Bylaws, updated and approved by our members in March 2006.
HITA is an affiliate of the American Translators Association (ATA). HITA is not an ATA chapter: HITA and ATA do not share any of their finances, and HITA's organization and activities are not subject to ATA guidelines.
