No matter how you translate it, love is love. At Propio, we celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community this month and the entire year. 

We are thrilled to be at Customer Contact Week today! We'd love to hear about your needs and how we might help, so if you're here in sunny Las Vegas, stop on by booth #1226. #CCWVegas #CustomerContactWeek

We are so honored to be named a Kansas City Business Journal "Champion of Business" for a third time, which made us a "Hall of Champions" member! Propio CEO Marco Assis and several Propio employees attended a dinner event for honorees. He accepted this prestigious award on behalf of the company and delivered remarks to fellow honorees and attendees.

Let's kickoff #NationalNursesWeek with a standing ovation for our frontline workers! As a provider of language services to the healthcare community, we see firsthand the critical impact nurses make in advocating and caring for their patients. Together, we help ensure every voice is heard and every patient understood.

Our interpreters help open worlds of opportunity and connection on a daily basis. Without language assistance, individuals could miss out on equitable access to necessary services, programs, and opportunities around them.   With humbleness and gratitude, we thank ALL of our interpreters around the world on this National Interpreter Appreciation Day!   #HappyNationalInterpreterAppreciationDay

Today we join the rest of the country in celebrating National ASL Day! And we’d like to take a moment to call out the contributions of our incredible team of ASL interpreters. Without this impressive group of linguists, those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (HoH) would lack the highest quality interpretation as well as advocacy—and equity in their life experiences. Today's interpreter spotlight features Tera, who has worked as an ASL interpreter for more than 25 years. She says as a result of her sister being born deaf, her entire family committed to learning ASL and immersing themselves within the culture—so much so that Tera enrolled in the school for the deaf right alongside her sister! As a result of all these experiences, she knew there would be no other profession for her than interpreting. But she reminds those who are considering ASL interpretation as a profession, “interpreting is a lifelong learning journey. You will acquire more skills and a deeper understanding of the industry and its nuances with each assignment.” One of the things Tera has come to learn is “it’s a humanizing experience to be part of human life coming into this world at the same time seeing life depart.” She says to be able to witness those moments “leaves an imprint upon you for the duration of your life.” On a lighter note, Tera shared that she sometimes interprets slam poetry and says, “the atmosphere and the rhythm of the interpretation is definitely a challenge and crazy at times, but something I find much enjoyment in!” Thank you, Tera, for your commitment to the ASL community and for sharing your story. Happy National ASL Day!

We did not miss the chance to celebrate with Cosmic Brownies, Star Crunches, and other lunar-inspired treats before we stepped outside to view the eclipse on this very special 'Moon'day! 🌒
