The Nevada Interpreters and Translators Association (NITA) was founded officially in 2008, although NITA’s founding member group of translators and interpreters has been active in its prior, unofficial incarnations since about 2004. NITA’s broadly defined goal is to advance and to elevate the quality and availability of language services throughout the State of Nevada. Our non-profit association thrives with an enthusiastic and diverse group of language professionals, representing many specializations, all working together with other relevant organizations and entities, in pursuit of the highest language service standards for all stakeholders involved.
With your help, we’re advancing toward providing accessible, accountable, and high-quality language services throughout the communities that we serve. And to work toward that goal, NITA regularly organizes and participates in relevant events and activities, many of which are open to the public in general. NITA has a very diverse membership comprising both staff and free-lance translators and interpreters, as well as students, and organizations that regularly employ language services and others. If you’re in Nevada and regularly deal with language services, feel free to drop by one of NITA’s public events, and get to know us! We’re always happy to answer your questions.
