ATA offers certification examinations for its members in some language combinations[4] and is affiliated with the International Federation of Translators (FIT). The association is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. Unlike a trade union, the ATA represents both "labor" and "management"—that is, both the translators who produce written translations and the translation agencies who purchase them. The ATA likewise does not provide benefits, such as collective bargaining or health insurance, to its freelance members.[3] Professional developmentATA's primary goals are to foster and support the professional development of translators and interpreters and to promote the translation and interpreting professions.[5] The Association offers a variety of programs and services in support of these goals, including a series of one-day seminars and workshops throughout the year and an ATA Annual Conference every fall—both of which feature education and training concerning diverse specialties and languages. CertificationThe ATA currently offers certification exams in the following language pairs:[6] Into English from Arabic, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. From English into Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Macedonian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and UkrainianAs of 2004, the organization requires members to complete a certain number of "continuing education" points from among offerings approved by the association in order to retain certification after passing a certification examination.[7] GovernanceATA is governed by its Bylaws,[3] and has a President, a President-Elect, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a Board of Directors, which has nine members. In addition, there is an Executive Director in charge of operations. Current officers[8]
