Since 1985, AATIA has brought together language specialists to share expertise, provide opportunities to learn more about the tools and techniques of professional translators and interpreters, and promote the recognition of translation and interpretation in the larger community. Members and guests get together at bimonthly meetings and other events, including those arranged by Special Interest Groups. AATIA also holds workshops on a variety of subjects. The Association is an affiliated group of the American Translators Association (ATA) and periodically sponsors ATA certification exam sittings.
