New! ATA Member-Provider Program

Who knows what you need better than another translator or interpreter? As a new benefit of ATA membership, the ATA Member-Provider Program gives members the opportunity to offer their products and services to other ATA members. The program is targeted to working translators and interpreters -- only products and services specific to the practice of translation and interpreting will be offered.

Payment Practices is the program's first member vendor. The company is offering ATA members a 25% discount on its subscription services. To take advantage of this offer, go to ATA Member Payment Practices Subscription and use your ATA login to access the subscription page. And be sure to click ATA Member-Provider Program to learn more about this new members-only benefit.
