2023 Conference Message

/

We wanted to send out an update to folks about the 2023 NCRID Conference. Please read this message, as there is important information you need to know!

Save the date! The 2023 NCRID Conference will be in-person again! Mark your calendars for June 15-17, 2023. We will be at the Hilton Charlotte University Place, the same location we have used in recent years.

As we have done for the last two years with our virtual conference, when you register you will be able to review the agenda and pre-select the workshops you wish to attend. This will be our first time implementing virtual logistics in a physical space, but are confident it will streamline things for us and you. No more worrying that the workshop you want will fill up before you can get to the room; you'll be able to guarantee that you have a seat!

There is also an enhanced membership perk that is new this year. Early Bird Registration will only be accessible to those with a valid membership as of September 30, 2022. We appreciate your involvement throughout the membership year, and offering a valuable discount to the NCRID Conference is our way of saying thanks! Once the Early Bird Registration window ends, general registration will be open to the public, including a slightly smaller discount to members. If you haven't yet renewed your membership for the 2022-2023 year, make sure you do so soon!

We cannot wait to welcome you again to in-person conference, and are working hard to plan an exciting, engaging agenda of speakers and events. We are taking all that we've missed about in-person conference for the last 3 years, and combining it with all we've learned from virtual conferences to make sure 2023 is the best year yet! Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for more!

NCRID ByLaws Revisions Adopted

/

Over 2021 and 2022, the NCRID Board has worked hard to update our organizational ByLaws to match current practices, be in line with RID’s ByLaws, and to clarify some terminology and phrasing.

Starting with the work of a ByLaws committee, then continued with the full NCRID board, this work was competed in early 2022. The proposed revisions were put to a vote of the general voting membership of NCRID, and as of June 24, 2022 these revisions passed (with greater than ⅔ of voting members voting in support).

The updated revised ByLaws can be found on this page.

Message from NCRID President Re: 2020 Conference Cancellation

/

Hello members,

Today, March 26, 2020, the NCRID Board met to discuss the feasibility of having the annual NCRID conference in June. Due to the rising and ever changing conditions of the Coronavirus many members in the interpreting and deaf communities are being affected in various ways. Many across the state are not working or have lost work due to the "lockdown" happening across the country.  As your outgoing President it is with mixed emotions that I announce that today the board has decided to CANCEL the NCRID Conference for this year. 

While we have cancelled conference the current board will be working on another option as this is an election year and a business meeting with voting members MUST be had as the current term for the present executive board positions will end June 30th. Please continue to check your social media platforms, emails, and the NCRID website for more information. Thank you and please continue to remain safe during these troubled times!

M. Antwan Campbell
NCRID President
