Columbia Interpreting Services in Rocheport, MO
At Columbia Interpreting Services, we are dedicated to providing a bridge between the hearing and Deaf communities, offering culturally- and linguistically-sensitive ASL interpreters, Deaf interpreters, and tactile interpreters.
Our team is certified and licensed to serve in the state of Missouri.
History
Columbia Interpreting Services was founded by Kathleen Alexander, an interpreter with more than 25 years of working experience.
CIS grew out of her strong desire to do something more for the Deaf and interpreting communities in the Columbia area. Kathleen felt Mid-Missouri would benefit greatly from a new organization, and thus, in September 1998, Columbia Interpreting Services (CIS) was established. The success of CIS is based on the level of commitment, expertise, and involvement that the employees are willing to give back to CIS.
Mission
CIS strives for excellence to provide a link between the Deaf and hearing communities as such:
- Provide ASL interpreters, transliterators, oral interpreters
- Provide quality and timely services
- Provide service to Deaf community and Business community
- Provide a workplace environment that supports the growth of individuals and the team
- Provide services that meet & exceed the expectations of all customers both internal and external
