One of MIAC's main goals is to provide services as well as training opportunities in a customized manner according to the specific needs of different areas throughout Connecticut. In order to facilitate this process, MIAC has established eight specific regions. Each region will have a regional director who is responsible for the following:

    1. Each Regional Director will solicit potential new Members, conduct activities and carry out the purposes of the corporation in its respective region, in accordance with guidelines, requirements, instructions, policies and/or procedures established by the Board or the corporation.
    2. The voting members in each respective region elect its Regional Director at the time of election of Directors.
    3. The Regional Director serves for a term of two (2) years, and may be re-elected for multiple terms, successive or otherwise.
    4. Regional Directors serve in an advisory role to the Board of Directors.
    5. Regional directors must be active members in good standing in the organization.
    6. Regional Director appointments are subject to Board review and approval.

Some of the activities to be conducted in each region include:

    1. Provide opportunities for Region members to express any issues regarding medical interpreting services within the respective Region. In the event of major issues and/or concerns, this information will be brought back to the Board of Directors to be addressed by the Association as a whole.
    2. Educational/training opportunities.
    3. Networking opportunities for those working in the provision of medical interpreting services to share information and create strong partnerships.

However, all MIAC members are welcome to attend all events, meetings, etc. throughout Connecticut since MIAC is a statewide association.

Below is the list of the regions:

    • Fairfield County
    • Hartford County
    • Litchfield County
    • Middlesex County
    • New Haven County
