You’ll have the chance to consider real-world\napplications\, impacts on your own practice\, and how you can bring this vital information back to your own\ncommunities.\nIt’s time for interpreters to get ahead of the curve. It’s time to understand how our relationship with money impacts\nour work\, ourselves\, and the Deaf community. Join us to explore this unprecedented data\, engage in vital\nconversations guided by evidence and equity and contribute to the positive change our field desperately needs. \n  \nUpon completion of this activity\, participants will be able to:\n*Analyze and assess at least one common narrative about\ninterpreter income\, utilizing both new and existing data\n*Examine their own business practices\, reflecting on the\nemotions\, narratives\, and evidence that have contributed to\ntheir decisions\n*Describe at least two areas of business practices where\ninterpreter practitioners and/or students could benefit from\nfurther exploration\, research\, and information-sharing. \n \n \n \n \n \n Loading...\n \n \n \n \n \n Taking too long?\n \n \n \n Reload document \n |\n \n Open in new tab \n \n \n \n \nParaquad will be the hosting location \n5240 Oakland Ave 63110. \nThere is plenty of free parking just off of Macklind\, and accessible parking by the front door. \nThe new deadline to make an accommodations request is April 24th by 11:59 pm \nIf you would like to preview some of the information the research garnered go to this website and a free copy of the report will be sent to your inbox. \n\nwebsite: Insightful Interpreter Research Website URL:https://mcdhh.mo.gov/events/interp-ws-are-interpreters-earning-a-living/ LOCATION:Paraquad\, 5240 Oakland Ave.\, St. Louis\, MO\, 63110\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260513T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260513T140000 DTSTAMP:20260603T184417 CREATED:20260226T165721Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T165721Z UID:19108-1778677200-1778680800@mcdhh.mo.gov SUMMARY:DSA Webinar: Understanding the RMD (Required Minimum Distribution from IRAs) DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Wednesday\, May 13\, 2026 | 2:00- 3:00 PM Eastern \nPresenter: James Rooney\, Morgan Stanley \n  \nDon’t Give Your Money to the IRS: Avoiding the 25% Penalty is an educational webinar\ndesigned to help older adults better understand required minimum distributions (RMDs) and\nother common retirement account rules that can trigger IRS penalties as high as 25%.
