- Active social media platforms include Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
- “Translation: Your Access to the World,” a leaflet designed to guide the prospective client in selecting and working with professional translators.
- Local groups meet in some metropolitan areas. Their activities include informative programs relevant to translating and interpreting, as well as social events. Networking is an important benefit of participation.

- Corporate/institutional members can send as many employees/associates as they wish to CATI events at member prices.
- Corporate/institutional members are listed in the corporate/institutional member section of the online directory.
