Business Practices Education Committee

Committee Objective

Translators and interpreters must not only be experts in language, but also must handle all the business-related aspects of their profession. The Business Practices Education Committee was established to provide ATA members with information about sound business practices, specifically those related to the T&I industry.

The Business Practices Education Committee is asked to do the following:

• educate Association members in sound business practices relevant to the translation and interpretation professions;
• respond to ATA members' questions and concerns about such business practices;
• provide an online forum for ongoing discussion of business practices ; and
• develop documents and procedures for various business situations that could be used by both providers and purchasers of translation and interpretation services.
