Ever wondered how much you're really worth? Have you ever been asked, "Why do you charge so much?"

Join Theresa Smith in a discussion about how we determine a reasonable fee for our work.

What are the real costs to you, the interpreter, for the provision of services and how much do you need to charge to cover them?
What are some of the business, cultural, and historical pressures on our fees?

These and other questions will be explored in a mix of lecture and small group discussion.
