WASCLA Language Access Summit IX
WASHINGTON STATE COALITION FOR LANGUAGE ACCESS
SUMMIT 2014
GOT LANGUAGE ACCESS?
CULTURE, COLLABORATION, AND SOLUTIONS
WASCLA's 2-day Language Access Summit, Summit IX, will be held on OCTOBER 24-25, 2014 at the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center.
Do you work in or use the services of the courts, legal profession, law enforcement, healthcare facilities, schools, government agencies or community organizations?
Do clients and the broader public have full and equal access to all of your services?
Have you found ways to offer full access for both spoken and signed languages?
Do you seek solutions with the collaboration of language professionals and representatives of the many cultural groups who reside in Washington?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, you Got Language Access and we invite you to participate in this year's Language Access Summit and share your expertise, success stories, and challenges. If you answered "no" to any of these questions, we invite you to join us and learn in a collaborative and supportive environment.
As we mark 50 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, please join us to reflect on the progress we've made and discuss solutions to the barriers that remain.
Join us for topics such as:
Interpreter Certification Updates
Language Barriers and Implicit Bias
How to write a Language Access Plan
Federal Civil Rights Enforcement
Building the Future: Language Access in Education
Replicable Programs: promoting culturally and linguistically appropriate services
Language Access in Healthcare: a Check-up
Language Access & Technology
and more!
