We are the union for freelance spoken language interpreters contracted by Washington State to render services for Medicaid enrollees and DSHS clients pursuant to RCW 41.56.030(10). We are all small business owners working for Washington State as independent contractors. Through our union's advocacy, we have worked together with our state to save millions of taxpayers' dollars previously wasted on excessive administrative costs.
We promote lean government principles by streamlining the procurement process of language interpretation services. By directing limited state dollars to the people actually providing the services, instead of middlemen, we can raise the quality of interpreter services provided to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Washingtonians. We support a ONE STOP SHOPPING SOLUTION for rendering services in all three delivery modalities: on-site, over-the-phone and video remote interpretation (VRI). We embrace cloud technology advances in communications and Software as a Service (SaaS) business models.
