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!

Welcome to "Inside Specialization, an all-new series on specialization and diversification developed in collaboration with ATA’s Professional Development Committee!
In this first episode, Professional Development Committee Chair Veronika Demichelis sat down with Judy Jenner, an ATA spokesperson and federally certified Spanish interpreter, to find out what it’s like to be a court interpreter—from her typical day to why she made this career choice.
We hope you'll come back for more in the series as members of the committee explore various specializations in one-on-one interviews with those working in translation and interpreting careers. You'll hear from terminology specialists, healthcare interpreters, patent translators, localization experts, and more. They’ll talk about what their work entails, the pros and cons of their specialty, the skills that are needed, and their personal stories and recommendations for getting started. This will be an adventure you won't want to miss!
