As the oldest, largest, and most successful private interpreting service provider in the country, SLA has a national reputation for quality and has become the standard for performance excellence.
SLA was established in 1982 when eight sign language interpreters decided to pool their resources and formed a company in order to meet the specific needs of their clients, consumers and fellow interpreters.
Janet L. Bailey, President & CEO, and one of the original founders, remembers: "We shared a dream to create a service company able to provide quality interpreting services in the most efficient way possible. As interpreters, we felt it was important to improve the working conditions and employment opportunities for professional interpreters."
Today, SLA is still interpreter owned and run and at present has a diverse staff that includes:
- 119 professional interpreters (76% hold National Certification)
- Staff interpreters who are fluent in Spanish and able to provide tri-lingual services for our consumers.
- A nationally recognized Mentor Program for interpreters
- Over 200 qualified part-time interpreters
- 20 customer-service focused administrative employees
- Offices in Denver, Colorado & Brandon, Florida & Richmond, Virginia & Springfield, Virginia
Each of our interpreters must go through a thorough skill evaluation and are screened for their experience and professionalism.
We are proud of our record of service and we stand ready to provide you with the most reliable, efficient, and cost-effective services to meet your communication needs.
