Generosity Abounds: GALA Members Give in 2011

In her recent post in the Huffington Post, Nataly Kelly, Chief Research Officer for Common Sense Advisory, highlighted the research firm’s annual ‘shout out’ to translation and interpreting companies that support humanitarian causes. The list compiled every year calls attention to the fact that in our oh-so-global world, language can often be the barrier that prevents people from getting the knowledge or information they need.

GALA wholeheartedly supports this effort to recognize those who have given a little extra.  As an organization run by an active volunteer board and supported by numerous volunteers throughout our member companies, we understand the commitment and energy required to add pro bono work to your day.  We also know that many who give to GALA, or participate in the association as a member, also give to humanitarian causes around the world.  In fact, we were pleased to see so many GALA companies on the list, a grand total of 27 GALA member companies.  An extra thank you to:
