Workshop Title:
• Just Say No: Using Discretion in Accepting Jobs

Lynette Reep, BA, CI/CT, has taught workshops on the Use of Discretion in half a dozen states and has been interpreting full-time since 1985. She attended Northeastern University's "Basic Interpreter Training Program" in Boston before the widespread advent of four-year training programs and credits her current abilities as well as her emphasis on collegial support and collaboration to the extensive informal mentoring she received from more experienced interpreters and Deaf consumers early on. She has formally and informally mentored numerous novice interpreters and currently serves on the organizing committee of the Vermont Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf's mentorship program. A strong believer in the importance of drawing on both internal and external resources, her teaching strives to recognize and support colleagues at every level of experience. Lynette lives with her partner in Burlington, Vermont.
