When you register for any BMC seminar, you have the opportunity to contribute to the Deaf Foundations Fund. Your contribution there will be applied to upcoming Deaf Foundations seminars, which have a Deaf co-facilitator where all participants are Deaf interpreters or are in training to become such.
Your contribution helps to counter the imbalance in our field where work opportunities are often insufficient to provide Deaf Interpreters with steady income working as interpreters. Reducing the costs associated with required Continuing Education Units is one way to support our Deaf colleagues.
