• Keep up to date

    A newsletter from SENSE drops into members’ e-mailboxes once a month. Each newsletter brims with news about the society, training opportunities from sister societies, and notices of various kinds. There are also handy links to upcoming SENSE events and links to the latest blog posts. And if you haven’t been on social media for a while, the newsletter provides an insight into that as well.

    About three times a month, SENSE sends out notices about upcoming events, society business, and important news from the industry.

    SENSE members who use Facebook and LinkedIn can join SENSE’s members-only Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Around 100 members are on the Facebook group and around 150 members are on the LinkedIn group. SENSE also has a public presence on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, where our social media manager very regularly posts news about SENSE events, events from sister societies, and various other interesting posts related to our industry. These pages are accessible to the public.

  • Get-togethers

    SENSE regularly hosts meetings for members based on region or special interest. These meetings can be in person or online. There are several SIGs (special interest groups), such as one for educators, for medical translators and editors, for academic editors, for starters, etc.

    The society hosts workshops about 3-6 times a year that are open to both members and the public. Some of these are in person, while others are in the form of webinars. Some workshops are interactive, while others feature a guest speaker.

    An established tradition in SENSE is our annual summer social and our annual winter dinner. At these two events, members may bring their partners or a guest. The summer social is usually some kind of touristy outing. The winter dinner may be a formal sit-down or an informal buffet dinner.

  • Reaching out

    Potential clients can use the SENSE freelance register to find suitable freelance translators, editors, interpreters, copywriters, etc. etc. from among SENSE members. The register is right there on SENSE’s public website. Any member of SENSE may join the freelance register for no extra charge.

    SENSE members are encouraged to make contact with other members. That is what being in a society is all about. All SENSE members can search for or browse the list of current SENSE members. As a member, you can edit your own profile page via our website and ensure that only the information that you wish to reveal, are visible to other members.

    The society has had a monthly newsletter pretty much since the beginning in 1992. Most of these newsletters have been preserved and can be viewed by members via the website. This is a very interesting way of getting to know the society and its members, or to get new ideas from past events and activities.
