Conference 2016
We are pleased to announce that our conference for 2016 will be held early July at Orakei marae in Auckland. We will make sure that all details are sent out to you before the end of the year, because of this we will be having workshops early next year for PD but also to prepare us for our conference.
MEMBERS:
We would love to get your feedback about the workshops which will have a Maori culture and language focus aiming to give interpreters more confidence in Maori settings, and will also help prepare us for the conference next year at the marae. Your feedback will help to shape these workshops and will be hugely appreciated.
