About the National Language Service Corps, NLSC
Presented by Bill Rivers, Chief Linguist of the National Language Service Corps
Bill Rivers will provide a presentation on the National Language Service Corps (NLSC). The NLSC Members can speak, listen, and understand English and other languages. These individuals make themselves available to help others in times of emergency or crisis wherever that may be. They have the opportunity to help their neighbors and fellow citizens by participating in national and state efforts when their expertise can truly make a difference. These Members can be called upon in time of need to use their interpreting and translating skills to help others in the United States and around the world during short-term assignments. They have participated in assignments in places ranging from Atlanta, Thailand and Indonesia to Germany and the African Atlantic coast, and some have been able to help from their own homes.
Free for NCATA members
Non-members: $15.00
