Official
State
Interpreter Roster |
|
|
|
|
|
In
2004, legislation was enacted charging
the Iowa Division of Latino Affairs with
the creation of a standard system to qualify Spanish-English interpreters
for generalized and specialized purposes and to maintain a roster
of individuals qualified to provide interpreter services for the
courts, health care and social service agencies. |
|
|
|
|
Latino
Affairs works with Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) to
enroll, provide financial assistance, and to graduate qualified
interpreters. The first class in the field of general interpretation
entered the program in August 2006 and seventeen students graduated
June 9th, 2007. |
