Join NAOBI ATL and DC for a virtual Mix & Mingle designed to bring our two chapters together as one! ☝🏿

Come dressed in your best Uno colors, grab your favorite snacks, and get ready to connect with fellow Black and Brown interpreters across Atlanta and DC.

The evening will feature structured breakout rooms covering five specialty areas — Business, Healthcare, Performance, Education, and a Wildcard room for freeform conversation — where you’ll rotate through meaningful discussions, swap stories, and meet colleagues you’ve never crossed paths with before.

Whether you’re a seasoned interpreter or just starting out, this is your space to decompress, share what you know, and build community. Don’t miss it -
