Association of Sign Language Interpreters
ASLI was officially established 26/27 August 1987 at the High Leigh Conference Centre in Hertfordshire.
Why was ASLI established?
ASLI was established to:
Promote the raising and maintenance of standards in interpreting
Encourage training and other initiatives
Provide information for interpreters and consumers
Promote research into areas of relevance to interpreters or interpreting services
Advise and cooperate with others interested in sign language interpreting
ASLI National Chairs
In 2005, the former National Chairs of the Association formed a group that would be a resource for the current National Executive Committee as well as a link to the past. The Former Chairs Group has assisted in the production of this page.
Whilst we no longer have a National Chair, our constitutional structure having been updated, we now have a Board of Directors and a Chair of the Board. Current Board member details can be found on our governance page.
Acknowledgments
ASLI would like to acknowledge the contribution to the many people who have contributed to the work on the ASLI History and in particular to Byron Campbell, Pádraigín Ní Rághillíg, Peter Llewellyn-Jones, Gloria Ogborn, Roger Beeson, Caroline Bickerton and Zane Hema.
