Get Ready for PLD Sessions at ATA56

June 30, 2015 By PLD Leave a Comment

Mirna Soares (Member of the Leadership Council)

ata 56As you know, we are coming close to the 56th ATA Annual Conference, which this year will be held from November 4 to 7, 2015, in sunny Miami.

The Portuguese Language Division is proud to announce that, once again, we have a Distinguished Speaker. Israel Souza, Jr., is a translator and interpreter for the Brazilian Army and has had the unique experience of working in a United Nations mission in Haiti.

We also have a great mix of veterans and newcomers on our roster of speakers. Amanda Morris, Érika Lessa, Manuela Sampaio and Maria Helena Brenner-Kelly will be debuting as ATA speakers with some interesting topics, while Giovanna Lester, Marsel de Souza, Naomi Sutcliffe, Fernanda Silva, and João Vicente de Paulo will be treating us to their long-time knowledge and experience. As you’ll see, we have subjects relevant to translators and interpreters alike.

Below is a list of the ten presentations specific to the PLD.
