Being a member of WSRID also means that you share the values of the mission of our organization - specifically to support other interpreters. We all benefit from our members getting involved with WSRID, making proposals to the membership and taking part in the activities of our committees.

Find out about the Agenda Planning Committee, and its role during meetings that use the Formal Consensus process (like our business meetings at Conference).

Catherine Kettrick has written several articles about Formal Consensus -- how to use it, and how it differs from Robert's Rules of Order. Check them out below!
