TSID/RID 2008 Region IV Conference Information
Just a few words to explain a little about this message. TSID (Texas
Society of Interpreters for the Deaf) is hosting the RID Region IV
conference in conjunction with their own annual conference in Houston,
Texas on June 25-29, 2008. We, as members of KAI-RID, are a part of
RID Region IV, and it would be great if several members of our
organization stepped up to work with them as either a committee
member or a presenter. You can find out more information below.
Hello all,
The Call for Committee members and the Call for Presenters are now
posted on the TSID website (tsid.org).
We need representation from all of Region IV on the committees. Please
encourage your members to respond.
Let me know if you have any questions.
