DVTA is a regional, not-for-profit (Section 501(c)(6)) association of professional translators, interpreters, linguists, educators, and other individuals interested in these fields. It is a chapter of the national American Translators Association with which it has been associated since the early 1960s. It acts as a regional talent bank for individuals, business and industry seeking assistance with translation and interpretation. DVTA is dedicated to improving communications among translators and interpreters, and those interested in these fields, as part of an ongoing program to promote the highest professional standards. It serves as a clearinghouse for information on literature and new developments concerning translation and interpretation. The association provides a forum for members to hear formal presentations and discuss current topics in the profession. Membership in DVTA entitles members to attend educational meetings of the association at a reduced rate, when offered. For more information, please visit our website at www.dvta.org
