Why did I decide to join a professional association? There really are a great many benefits: I can connect with colleagues and build key relationships for my personal and professional growth, freelance work can be rather solitary, through the association I can share the challenges, receiving and providing solutions in my areas of ​​expertise; no less important is the concept of accountability – taking responsibility for the quality of the work process and the results: members are required to abide by a Code of Professional Conduct meaning that I work according to rigorous standards, giving clients confidence that I can deliver results; I also have access to countless opportunities for specialist training and development: continuing professional development is mandatory for translators to stay relevant and effective, particularly in technical and legal sectors.
Joining an Association requires qualifications, experience and a qualitative assessment from a number of clients – being a member guarantees commitment and competence.
