Hi again Linda,
For local state information, you may also want to surf the Tennessee Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf's Web site: tennrid.org
And...to encourage you, Gallaudet always has very impressive workshops for Professional Interpreters & Signers. Will be worth your time and $$$. Good luck :- )
