What a couple of action packed days were had at the BEI Preparation Workshop held at the Chicago Hearing Society on December 4 - 5, 2016.
First of all - thank you to CHS for their generous donation of space to host this workshop. Also a special shout out to Michelle Mendiola and Kim Eischen (CHS Staff) for coming in early on a weekend day to open the doors for us.
This year, IRID hosted our annual membership meeting along with professional development opportunities at Columbia College Chicago on October 15, 2016. I can honestly say that the event was a huge success. We had over 130 in attendance on Saturday and 40 in attendance Friday night for the Student / Entry to Practice Panel Discussion. Thank you to the Panelists for a very stimulating question and answer session.
IRID is thrilled to announce the names of our members who were awarded scholarships at our recent membership meeting held at Columbai College on October 15, 2016. We are pleased to be able to offer this benefit to our members. IRID awards two Dan Levin Memorial Scholarships annually, provided that the necessary funds are available and there are eligible candidates, to members who wish to sit for a Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) Performance Test.
