NJRID Pays Tribute to Bonnie Thomas

"Although deeply saddened at news of her passing, NJRID would like to celebrate the ever present enthusiastic spirit of Bonnie Thomas.  She was tremendous presence in the lives of many interpreters beginning as Students and encouraging them every step along the way.  
It didn't stop there...she was supportive and active in many of the events of this organization and she will be greatly missed by those that were lucky enough to have known her and her infectious laugh.  Additional tributes to Bonnie by members may be found in the July issue of The Mediator."

 


The New Jersey Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (NJRID) is a non-profit membership-driven professional association. The 200-plus members span the entire state and include professional American Sign Language (ASL)/English interpreters, transliterators, Deaf and hard-of-hearing consumers, students currently enrolled in interpreter training programs and others who have a personal interest in the field.

NJRID is one of many local affiliate chapters of the national Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. (RID).

The principal purpose of NJRID is to initiate, sponsor, promote and execute activities that further the profession of interpretation/transliteration of American Sign Language and English.
