MMIA GOES INTERNATIONALl!!
At the Critical Link Conference in Sydney, Australia, we made history by announcing to the world our move to become the International Medical Interpreters Association. International delegates received this message with great enthusiasm and desire of support and collaboration.
Almost since its inception, the MMIA has been a national organization as members joined from all over the country to work together for the advancement of medical interpreters. The MMIA Standards of Practice were adopted by many organizations around the country and the MMIA Conference is attended by international multidisciplinary stakeholders, all with an interest in medical interpreting and in the mission of our organization.
The MMIA has always been a pioneer in the field, and has worked hard to promote collaboration and serve as a clearinghouse and catalyst for change in this specialized field. Now, the MMIA is again a pioneer in filling a void that has been present for a long time. Some countries are very advanced in healthcare interpreting, while others could benefit from what we have learned and have to offer. Most importantly this new structure will enable a more collegial collaboration among our international members. Please let your international colleagues know that there is now an international medical interpreter association, the IMIA. Our website will remain
www.mmia.org
.
How will this affect the state of Massachusetts? It will allow Massachusetts to continue in its leadership role as an interpreter association, and allow us to continue to serve our membership and create opportunities for all to work together to achieve our local goals, as well better serving our out of state and international members. Our Rhode Island Chapter members, for example, will benefit from this change. While we may certainly feel a loss to not be called the Massachusetts Medical Interpreters Association, we prefer to build on this organization's great history, and fulfill our fiduciary responsibility to the membership to lead the organization into the future.
If you're a state, out-of-state or international member, let us know how you feel! We know name changes can be emotional. We are honored that you voted for us to lead the organization to the next level, and that is what we are doing. This is a natural move for the organization. Comments about going international can be sent to Marzena Laslie, at mmiaml@aol.com.
