As is the case with most divisions, only a small percentage of members take advantage of the benefits we offer in terms of year-round networking or conference activity, but we certainly offer them. The highlight of this \u2018home\u2019 moment for me (Karen) this year was the dinner at the annual conference. About 25 of us gathered. We understood each other. We were all linguists, but many of us were also scientists or engineers by training. We are number people as well as word people. There was empathy and understanding that we were at home, part of a family within ATA.

This encouragement worked, and there were 25 sessions to review, including several areas where the subject matter has not been covered in recent years. The resulting \u201cST\u201d track was strong. We found an invited speaker (sustainable architecture). We also had a second (pharmacology) thanks to a contact made through the Japanese Language Division. Unfortunately, one of these invited speakers had to pull out after receiving a promotion during the summer than meant she could no longer leave her university during October.

Membership has grown to over 1500 and the Division is very active. Last December I was elected President of the Houston Interpreters and Translators Association, and the duties of that office are taking a lot more of my time than I anticipated.
