NAETISL Chapters

Expanding Our Reach, Strengthening Our Impact

NAETISL Chapters are the heart of our mission, fostering local communities of educators, interpreters, translators and multilingual families dedicated to advancing language access in education. By connecting professionals across regions, our chapters empower members to collaborate, share knowledge, and advocate for excellence in their field.

Each chapter offers tailored opportunities to grow and thrive, including professional development events, networking sessions, and localized support for navigating the unique challenges of your area. Together, we amplify the voices of those who ensure language is never a barrier to education.

Whether you’re looking to join an existing chapter or start one in your area, NAETISL is here to guide and support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to create a nationwide network of language professionals dedicated to transforming educational access!
