Members' memories

 

This year, ITI turns 40. Four decades is a milestone worth marking, but an anniversary is as much about what comes next as what has gone before. The questions facing translators and interpreters today – the role of AI, sustained economic pressure and the changing nature of client relationships – are real, and they are not always comfortable. What has stayed constant across 40 years is the value of working through the challenges together, as the ITI community.

We'd like to make our community the centre of this anniversary: not a single story, but the many stories that have made up four decades of our institute. You can read some of these stories in the collection of memories in this booklet.

 40 Under 40

As part of our 40th anniversary celebrations, ITI launched a project called ‘40 Under 40’.

The aim of the project is to showcase 40 members under the age of 40 who are making a success of their careers in the translation and/or interpreting professions. Successful applicants will feature in the winter edition of the ITI Insight magazine, along with their profile and biography. There will be a prize for members who are considered ‘top 3’ by our panel, and they will have an extended interview in the magazine.

The deadline for applications has now closed and are being reviewed by our experienced panel of ITI Fellows: Katie Belo Dos Santos (Chair), Kim Sanderson and Andrew Godfrey-Collins.

More information about the outcomes of the project will be announced at the ITI AGM.
