Actually I wanted to put a title "Bravo, Prozcom!" but decided in favor of the previous title.
Recently Prozcom helped me to solve a problem that I was not going to come up with a solution. I feel now that I am not alone in this world and I am happy to be a part of our community.
Thank you, Prozcom team! You are the best!

Hi Sophia,
As Henry H. mentioned, I am currently the President of ATA... However, even before I became President, I have always said that I built my entire freelance business on my ATA and New York Circle of Translators (my local ATA chapter) activities.
Virtually every single client I have is a personal contact I made through ATA, NYCT, or my teaching activities, or through a recommendation from one of my personal contacts.
For many years I managed translations at JP Morgan and all the translators I hired were also personal contacts, mostly made at ATA Annual Conferences.
Besides the networking benefits and the contacts made through the Translation Services Directory, there are 13 or 14 Divisions, which are special interest groups, including the newest Division, which focuses on providing iup-to-date information on technology to the membership.
Here is a list of some of the other member benefits taken from
http://www.atanet.org/membership/index.php#benefits
Hi Marion,
I quite agree with you. Joining ATA was a sound business investment. The very week I joined, I was contacted by two high profile clients and my membership paid off right way with a nice return. It's too bad that this organization doesn't offer a certification exam in my language pair: Romanian/ English.
a subscription to the Association's professional journal, The ATA Chronicle;
job information through The Chronicle advertisements and the Annual Conference Job Marketplace;
the opportunity for individual and corporate members to be listed in the Translation Services Directories , ATA's online searchable database of translating & interpreting professionals;
the benefits of joining and participating in any of ATA's 13 divisions;
discounted professional liability insurance customized for the translation and interpreting professions;
discounted disability and life insurance policies;
discounted overnight letter and express delivery services through UPS;
reduced registration fees for educational events, such as ATA annual and regional conferences;
numerous networking opportunities through division listserves, website forums, and ATA networking events;
the opportunity to participate in the ATA certification program;
discounted Dun & Bradstreet collections and receivables management services;
access to the online ATA Membership Directory in up-to-date electronic format;
a no-fee ATA MasterCard with the ATA logo, pending approval of credit;
discounted credit card acceptance services; and
the satisfaction of doing your part to promote the profession.

I was curious if everyone who is a member or has considered becoming one could fill me in on the benefits of doing so, if any. For example, are you able to expand your business by joining?
They even have a Midwest branch (I live in Wisconsin). Anybody could tell me about that?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sophia Hundt
