Strategic Community Allyship: A Model of Success for Interpreters (3 hrs.) (PPO)

Strategic Community Allyship: A Model of Success for Interpreters (.3CEU) PPO

Saturday September 9th, 2023 

9:00am-12:00pm

This interactive workshop encourages participants to take a closer look at the perceived and actual benefits of strategic community allyship. Through Deaf lens, the presenter will identify long-standing systemic barriers and challenges the Deaf community faces on a regular basis. With this necessary foundation, the presenter will then discuss the various ways sign language interpreters can provide long-term strategic support that will dismantle these systemic barriers and challenges to the collective benefit of the Deaf and interpreting communities.

After this workshop, participants will:

• Recognize the impact of allyship on disrupting the continuous cycle of the oppression of Deaf individuals;

• Understand and apply best practices to measure short- and long-term return on investment (ROI) of allyship behaviors; and

• Utilize strategies to amplify the messages and actions of marginalized communities

The language of the weekend will be ASL.

All workshops will be taught in ASL with no English interpretation. Working interpreters will be present at the banquet to ensure access for all.
