Its mission statement: "NZSTI is a nationally representative body of translators and interpreters that provides a networking forum for its members, represents members' interests, and promotes continued professional development, quality standards and awareness of the profession within government agencies and the wider community.[1]".
NZSTI was established in 1985 and has three regional branches in the three main centres of New Zealand: Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
As well as an annual conference (to be held in Wellington in 2009), the branches hold regular activities through the year to support local members.
An online directory is available with a search function by name, by language combinations and by mode (whether a translator or interpreter).
