The BMC Events Menu lists the current schedule of events in a variety of locations, including the ever-popular Foundations of Interpreting Series and the Etna Project.
The Foundations of Interpreting Seminar Series offers a progressively challenging approach to text analysis and releasing form, beginning with consecutive interpretation into English (L1 for most interpreters) and moving through the series toward simultaneous interpretation in both English and ASL. Each module is a prerequisite for the next module. More information about Foundations can be found here: Foundations of Interpreting Seminar Series
Participation in the Etna Project Series carries a prerequisite to have attended Foundations modules I & II. The Etna Project Series is offered annually. Once the series is underway, you will have to wait for the next series to attend. More details about the Etna Project can be found here: Etna Project.
Since the advent of public distancing has derailed our opportunity to meet together physically, BMC has also ventured into the world of professional development online. This includes both Foundations and Etna seminars, as well as shorter 3-hour IMI Seminars. Many of these are presented in ASL, ensuring that C/DIs have ample opportunities to join us.
BMC offers scholarships for students, C/DIs, and BIPOC interpreters. Simply identify yourself as such and join us at a reduced cost.
