#### Database and Tips

####  Presenter Database

  * Is a resource where people in search of training can find a presenter for an event.
  * Includes the topic for the presenter’s area of expertise and a place for contact information (phone number, email and website).
  * Allows for easy access to log-in and update your presenter information

_RID does not endorse any of the presenters on the database. We are simply
providing an avenue where presenters can be located._

#### Top Tips for a Successful and Safe Learning Environment

The Professional Development Committee (PDC) put together two lists to assist
presenters, trainers and teachers in facilitating successful workshops. The
PDC thanks all of those who responded to the inquiry for “tips.” Although
these lists are very thorough, they are not meant to be all inclusive.
Continuing dialogue and sharing of successful strategies will only serve to
enhance future presentations by all and encourage the pursuit of life-long
learning in the field of interpreting.
