Eve Dicker Eiseman named Honorary Member of WisRID

Ms. Eve Dicker-Eiseman was one of the charter members of WisconsinRID and has been a continued member since 1971. Ms. Dicker Eiseman has been active in our organization on local, state, and national levels. Her commitment and years of service to the profession are what prompted Ms. Amy Hogle to nominate her for the honor. Ms. Hogle commented that “in our professional community her name is synonymous with excellence and dedication.” The board agreed that it is an honor that is long overdue. Ms. Dicker-Eiseman has been a role model, teacher, mentor, colleague and friend to many interpreters through the years; she continues to inspire and motivate us today. Offering Ms. Dicker Eiseman Honorary Member status is but a small tribute for her many contributions to our profession.
