Welcome to
Oregon Registry of
Interpreters for the Deaf
ORID is a community of volunteers striving to promote the socialization and professionalism of our interpreting community. Collectively, we empower local interpreters to continually advance our community, the profession, and its standards through a collaborative approach prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion. As an affiliate chapter of RID, we represent Oregon and Southwest Washington’s interpreters at the national level by initiating leadership at the local level.
Please join ORID in improving the interpreting community of Oregon by becoming a member, and actively participating in setting the organization’s agenda.

Carmen Moon is facing the camera smiling in front of a plain white background. She is wearing a gray shirt with a gray jacket over it and has dark, curly shoulder length hair.
Stephanie Taylor is smiling towards the camera. She has long brown hair and wearing a black shirt.
ORID is working on educating the public about how to work with interpreters and how to best provide access to members of the Deaf community.
Once a month, ORID hosts get-togethers with interpreters in Portland, Salem, and Eugene. Not in those areas? Contact us to start one up in your area! We hope to see you there!
ORID is a fully volunteer-run organization. We have far more dreams and motivation than we can do with the few wonderful folks who are working now. Check out our volunteer page to see how your time, skills, and interests can best support the interpreting profession in Oregon!
