Answer: What is Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf mean?

The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc (RID) is a non-profit organization, founded on June 16, 1964 and incorporated in 1972, that seeks to uphold standards, ethics, and professionalism for American Sign Language interpreters. The process of the founding of RID began with Dr. Boyce R. Williams, who worked for the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (later renamed as the Rehabilitation Services Administration). In a joint collaboration between Vocational Rehabilitation and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), Dr. Williams, who was also Deaf, led the "Workshop on Interpreting for Deaf People," and RID was established during the workshop. RID is the only organization in the United States that credentials both Deaf and Hearing interpreters to provide services in a wide range of settings, as well as test and certify interpreters for legal work. The RID Board is committed to the "4 R's" which are: Roots, Respect, Relevance and Results. As of 2014 there were over 15,000 members and 58 affiliate chapters.

Since August 2004, RID has been building stronger ties with the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), including a joint Code of Professional Ethics and the merging of their respective certification programs. They jointly developed the National Interpreter Certification test (NIC), which was adopted in 2005.

RID is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, with a roughly $3,000,000 annual budget and around 20 employees. The association's operations are led by an executive director (currently vacant) and governed by an eleven-member board of directors.
