For Interpreters
An agency relationship that respects the work.
SIA was created by an interpreter. That experience shapes how SIA describes assignments, considers qualifications and specialized experience, and supports interpreters before, during, and after the work.
Thoughtful matching
Experience is not interchangeable.
SIA considers qualifications, specialized settings, communication needs, known preferences, and whether keeping a trusted interpreter matters.
