ATA has been in the business of acknowledging outstanding service and professional distinction in the translation and interpreting fields since 1964 when it awarded its first Alexander Gode Medal. By recognizing colleagues who, through their daily work, volunteer activities, and careers exemplify the qualities that define excellence in our industry, the association not only salutes their achievements but also recognizes their substantial impact on our community. In episode 56 of The ATA Podcast, Honors and Awards Committee Chair Karen Tkaczyk talks with Host Matt Baird about what's on tap for this year's awards season and announces the opening of nominations for the ATA Dynamo, Mentoring, and Rising Star Awards!
