Welcome to the RI affiliate chapter of the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.
MISSION and PHILOSOPHY: The philosophy of the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. (RID) is to provide international, national, regional, state, and local forums. It is an organizational structure which provides for the continued growth and development of the profession of interpretation and transliteration of American Sign Language (ASL) and English. The philosophy of RID is to promote excellence in the delivery of interpretation/transliteration services among people who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and hearing to ensure effective communication. RID seeks to promote the profession of interpreting/transliterating of ASL and English.
RI RID strives to increase the access to communication of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities by improving the quality and quantity of sign language interpreting services available. RI RID works collaboratively with all like-minded organizations to raise awareness about issues important to the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and interpreting communities. RI RID is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization and is primarily supported by its members. RI RID serves to provide a locally-based network of peer support for its membership and acts as a liaison to the national level for its members.
