At Arkansas RID, we are committed to providing consistent, high-quality professional development for interpreters across the state. We host four quarterly workshops each year, typically held in:

• March

• June

• September

• December

As a state-wide organization, we strive for accessibility and representation. To ensure all members have the opportunity to attend in person, we do our best to alternate locations between our three main districts throughout the year. Keep an eye on our Events calendar for specific dates and registration details for the upcoming quarter!

While the 2027 Biennial Conference is a prime opportunity to earn CEUs for your professional certification, its true value goes far beyond the classroom. This gathering is the primary engine for our community's growth and the best way to ensure your voice is heard within Arkansas RID.

Your attendance is vital for several reasons:

• Shape Our Leadership: Cast your vote to elect the Board of Directors. This is your chance to choose the leaders who will represent your interests.

• Direct the Future: Participate in business meetings where we discuss the organization’s trajectory, advocacy efforts, and upcoming initiatives.

• Connect with Colleagues: Build lasting professional relationships and network with peers from across the state in an environment designed for collaboration.

• Community Strength: Join us in person to celebrate our progress and tackle the unique challenges facing Arkansas interpreters together.

Don't just witness the future of our field—help build it. We look forward to seeing you there!
