Expression of Interest
We are excited to announce an opportunity to become a member of NAATI’s Technical Reference Advisory Committee (TRAC).
If you want to assist NAATI in the ongoing development of its translating and interpreting policies, have the necessary experience and expertise, then we would like to hear from you.
The Technical Reference Advisory Committee is a key source of advice on technical translating and interpreting (T&I) matters. The role of the TRAC is to provide the NAATI Board and management team with independent advice on policy issues, and ensure NAATI has broad exposure to the wider T&I industry.
TRAC complements the work of NAATI’s management, the network of Regional Advisory Committees (RACs), and other governance committees.
We are currently seeking potential new members to fill future vacancies on the committee and invite applications from suitably qualified candidates who can demonstrate current or recent industry experience, understanding and/or experience in policy development, standard-setting, and assessment.
If you are interested in this opportunity and would like to find out more, contact NAATI’s CEO Mark Painting at mark.painting@naati.com.au.
The closing date for Expressions of Interest is 30 October 2020.
