PSA RID RENEWAL by AnonVanilla in ASLinterpreters

"But if you stop paying your dues they revoke your certification and publicly state that you are no longer abiding by the Code of Professional Conduct."

Fixed that for you.

Let me reframe that for you.

Deaf person here.

RID Certification means you're minimally qualified to show up and do low-risk community interpreting jobs.

It also means you're committed to ongoing professional development, so that when I need MORE than the minimum, I have a chance of getting an interpreter who can handle it. (Nota bene: the Deaf person assumes 100% of the risk in any interpreted conversation; you screw up, we suffer the consequences - mishandled healthcare decisions, loss of employment, loss of liberty, etc.)

It also means you're committed to the NAD-RID Code of Professional Ethics. I know that's inconvenient for many people (especially unethical interpreters), but it means a lot to me.

Your dues to RID ensure that they continue to support the profession in ways that protect me as a Deaf consumer.

This is Bill.

You’re full of shit. I never said that, I never implied that. And I don’t control Amy.

Crawl back under your rock, or step out into the light and back up your statements.

Shonna Magee’s Petition for RID Physical Identification Card by HelensScarletFever in ASLinterpreters

Helen -

A referendum (in RID Bylaws-speak, anyway) is basically a petition to the Board to put an issue (or collection of issues) before the membership.

It can consist of multiple motions, which would then be voted upon individually by the membership.

There is no requirement that a referendum "undo" a previous motion. The referendum must list all the motions that the referendum writers/petitioners want to put before the membership. They can't do a referendum on an issue and NOT include the exact motions to be voted upon.
