We've successfully completed our first exercise with some Charter Members. Tanya Clark, a Russian speaker, Carol Curtis, a Marshallese speaker, and John Wu, a Mandarin speaker, each spent a week with the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. Tanya served from February 23-27, Carol from March 2-6 and John from March 9-13. At the end of each week, they traveled to the NLSC offices in Arlington, VA to give us feedback on their experiences. This was our first exercise, after all. The feedback was all good.
Our three members participated in a pandemic flu exercise, and helped the CDC with the content on the organization's non-English web pages. The CDC was quite happy with the work, particularly because our members went beyond just offering translation assistance to offer cultural insights that will make a difference.
