History

About Us

NATI was established in 1998 and formally incorporated as a 501(c)3  association in 1999 with our final bylaws ratified and signed on July 4, 2000. Since then, our membership has grown from 8 very dedicated members of a steering committee to over 200 independent contractors, NGO's, government employees, businesses, volunteer language access activists, ESL instructors and healthcare providers. Our members speak numerous languages and dialects, have widely varying personal and professional backgrounds, hail from states around the US and generously share their cultural knowledge and multinational expertice.

Please take a look at the Voices and Visions Commemorative Magazine for a list of the founding board and board members over the past 10 years.
