Who May Join?

CIT serves an international community of interpreter educators. While the membership consists primarily of teachers, mentors, and workshop providers of ASL/English Interpreting and teachers of ASL, the organization welcomes educators and other professionals who share CIT’s goals, regardless of language combination, spoken or signed.

First-Time Members

First-Time Members (Pro-rated costs)

First-time members are able to join as members and pay a pro-rated fee when you join midway into the membership year.

Nov – Jan: 100%
Feb – April: 75%
May – July: 50%
Aug – Oct: Get a full year of membership plus whatever time is left until Oct 31 extra. (So, if you join on August 1 as a Full Member for one year, you would pay the full cost, but you membership would last until October 31 of the following year, essentially giving you 3 months of free membership.)

These pro-rated memberships are available only to first-time members. Click here to join online for first time.
