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 our community. 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.
