Happy Interpreter Appreciation Day from the Texas Society of Interpreters for the Deaf (TSID)!

Today, we proudly recognize and celebrate the incredible work of interpreters across Texas and beyond — the professionals, students, mentors, educators, and future interpreters who dedicate themselves to communication access, advocacy, and community connection every single day.

To those currently working in the field, whether you are certified, pursuing certification, refining your skills, or stepping into new areas of growth within the profession: your work matters. Your commitment to ethical practice, lifelong learning, and service continues to strengthen our communities and elevate the interpreting profession.

We also want to encourage students in Interpreter Training Programs and anyone considering a career in interpreting. This profession is both challenging and deeply rewarding, and we are excited to see the next generation of interpreters grow, lead, and contribute to the future of our field.

TSID remains committed to supporting interpreters through professional development, community engagement, advocacy, and opportunities to connect with one another across the state. We look forward to continuing this celebration together at our upcoming June Conference in San Antonio, where interpreters from all stages of their journey can come together to learn, network, and uplift the profession.

Thank you for all that you do.
Your work creates access, connection, and impact every day.

— Texas Society of Interpreters for the Deaf (TSID) Board
