STEVE IVERSON ELECTED TO ASSOCIATION OF LANGUAGE COMPANIES BOARD OF DIRECTORS

MILWAUKEE, (June 4, 2008) – The Association of Language Companies (ALC)


announced today the election of Steve Iverson, founder of Iverson Language


Associates, to its Board of Directors. The election took place at the association’s


recent annual conference in San Francisco. The event was the largest in the


organization’s six-year history.


Formed in 2002 by a group of entrepreneurs to raise awareness of the translation and


language services industry, ALC is the only national trade organization representing


businesses that provide translation, interpretation, localization and language training


services.


“As a founding member of the organization, I am excited to be elected to the Board


of Directors,” said Iverson. “I look forward to helping our members build their


companies, and to helping raise awareness of the value of our profession in our


increasingly global marketplace.”


During his first term as director, Iverson will oversee association activities as well as


serve as a board liaison to the Education Committee. The committee is charged with


developing an educational program to inform members of industry trends and new


tools, and provide information and techniques to help members and non-members


grow their businesses.
