  • NIC: On December 1, 2011, the enhanced, streamlined, single-level NAD-RID National Interpreter Certification (NIC) Examination will go into effect. As announced at the RID National Conference in July, the enhanced examination will have the same content as the current NIC, but the content will be reformatted to focus more closely on critical interpreting skills. New scoring techniques designed to increase the accuracy, consistency and reliability of the examination scoring will also be introduced with this enhanced test. In addition to more effectively measuring the competency of exam candidates, the new scoring process will allow RID to provide exam results in significantly less time than before.

2010-11 Events, Occurrences and Resolved Issues

  • SCRID has successfully turned over many aspects of the business of the board to electronic based formats. The hopes this will be a continued endeavor of the incoming board.
  • Upon further review it was decided to not establish a by laws committee.
  • The SCRID Board of Directors made several changes to the business aspects of the organization
  • The PO Box, bank and Storage facilitate were moved near each other for ease of turn-over to new board. In the past it was necessary to make several trips to turn-over all of these entities to the new board member’s names. Now they are all within a mile of each other and a facility to hold a board meeting assisting in the turn-over to a new board to happen the day of the induction of the new individuals.
  • The issues with the PO Box were resolved with the new facility.
    • The Board discussed the primary (necessary) aspects of SCRID verses the ancillary aspects in order to focus on primary with limited human resources. Through this discussion the following was decided:
    • The chair positions directly working towards SCRID’s goals and therefore have a need to be continually filled are:
      • Certification Maintenance Program
      • Professional Development Committee
      • Membership
      • Website
      • All other positions are deemed ancillary and therefore were to be filled after the primary positions were filled.
      • To allow student representation committee chair to remain vacant.
      • To consider alternative approaches to the Support the Gap committee as was suggested by previous chair.
        • Have the website fulfill the needs of the committee.

 

Issues and Work Carrying Over to 2011-12

  • The SCRID Manual will be expanded upon to create a Procedures and Policy Manual over the summer. Items will be added to the website wiki. A calendar or gant chart will be created for the position of President by current President who will be immediate past president.
