SPONSORSHIPS
Hello!
The Conference of Interpreter Trainers (CIT) is pleased to announce that we will be holding our biennial convention from October 31 – November 3, 2018 in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. As you may know, CIT promotes standards of excellence in the field of sign language interpreter education.
CIT is currently seeking sponsors for the 2018 convention. Sponsors are a critical part of our convention. Without sponsors, CIT would not be able to provide the high quality educational opportunities that interpreter educators have come to expect from this event.
Sponsors are able to choose from a selection of sponsorship opportunities and be recognized for those sponsorships. Sponsors will be recognized throughout the convention, during pre-conference promotions and on printed conference documents. Top sponsors will have the opportunity to say a few words at the opening session.
The theme for the 2018 convention is Reaching New Heights in Interpreter Education: Mentoring, Teaching & Leadership.
Be a part of our next conference by getting your organization recognized by interpreter educators who reach to new heights and best practices in mentoring, teaching and leadership. You can be a part of supporting the work we do to advance the efforts of interpreter educators, interpreters and serve the Deaf community. Please take a moment to review the options below and decide how you want to be included in this exciting event!
If you have any questions, contact Janis Cole or Annette Miner at sponsors-exhibits@cit-asl.org.
