NOTA – Northeast Ohio Translators Association

Features

NOTA was founded in 1977, established as a not-for-profit corporation in Ohio in 1978, and recognized as the second Permanent Chapter of the American Translators Association (ATA) in 1979.
Although we encourage our members to become members of the ATA as well, it is not required. Neither ATA nor NOTA tests you on your language skills as a condition
for membership. To become a member of NOTA, visit our Join NOTA page.
Like its parent organization, NOTA supports and promotez the interests of professional translators and interpreters, primarily those living and working in the
northeastern portion of Ohio, as well as individuals in other related fields and geographical regions. NOTA promotes professional development and competence through workshops, seminars, and its newsletter. Members maintain a support network for mutual assistance and cooperation, terminology exchange, and continued professional development in Northeast Ohio.
