Webinar with Lori Thicke: Helping to Save Lives by Overcoming Information Disparities

Helping to Save Lives by Overcoming Information Disparities

Knowledge is power: It saves lives, lifts people out of poverty, creates and maintains economies, and ensures better health and nutrition. Aid groups working in crisis-situations often face the mission-critical challenge of breaking down language barriers to provide access to information to those who need it.

Join Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and Val Swisher, CEO of Content Rules, for a discussion with Lori Thicke, CEO of Lexcelera about how Translators Without Borders facilitates the transfer of knowledge to people who need it from one language to another by leveraging the power of professional, vetted translators who volunteer their time. Learn how you can help Translators Without Borders save lives, protect human rights, and make the world a better place, one word at a time.

The webinar starts on July 13, 2012 10:00 am Pacific Daylight Time
