History

The Northwest Translators & Interpreters Society (NOTIS) was established in April 1988 as a forum for professional translators and interpreters in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. In view of our strategic position in international trade and of its growing importance in international travel, practicing translators and interpreters, as well as the local and regional business communities, benefit from the existence of an active professional group like NOTIS.

NOTIS is a chapter of the American Translators Association (ATA), a professional society with over 11,000 language professional members throughout the United States and overseas.
