马尔多纳多任命本土化中的女性为总统
Women in Localization has a new president: Argentine translation leader Cecilia Maldonado begins her one-year term today.
Founded in 2008, Women in Localization is a nonprofit organization that works to foster a global community for the advancement of both women and the industry by providing networking, education, career advancement, mentoring, and recognition of women’s accomplishments. Membership is free and both women and men are invited to join.
To select its officers, Women in Localization works through a succession committee. The committee interviews existing board members to determine their goals for the group, then selects a slate of candidates accordingly. Candidates are also interviewed then the final list is presented to the board, which votes. Maldonado served as vice-president in 2020 and was confirmed president for the upcoming year during the board’s last voting session.
In 2020, Women in Localization’s “high level objective” was to focus on growing global membership, “which included setting up a virtual/global chapter to focus on our remote members and provid[ing] stronger support to our non-US chapters,” according to Maldonado. Six new chapters were founded according.
“I’m super excited about my new role at [Women in Localization],” Maldonado emailed. “After constant growth, 2021 will be a year for restructuring and reorganization, simplifying and streamlining our organizational structure so we can set the foundations for enduring success. With 28 chapters in 18 different countries today, we need to step up our game to be ready for the challenges and opportunities growth brings.”
Maldonado is well-known figurehead in the localization field, having cofounded both Translated in Argentina, an industry association, and Think Latin America, a popular conference that later became part of the Globalization and Localization Association’s Think! series. She is also an active volunteer for the Association of Language Companies, a US trade group.

本地化妇女有了一位新总统：阿根廷翻译领导塞西莉亚马尔多纳多今天开始她一年的任期。
本地化妇女组织成立于2008年，是一个非营利组织，致力于通过提供网络，教育，职业发展，指导和对妇女成就的认可，促进全球社区的发展，以提高妇女和本地化行业的地位。会员资格是免费的，男女均可加入。
为了挑选官员，本地化工作中的妇女通过一个继任委员会开展工作。委员会与现有董事会成员面谈，以确定他们对本集团的目标，然后据此挑选候选人名单。候选人也经过面试，最后名单提交给董事会，由董事会投票。马尔多纳多在2020年担任副总裁，并在董事会最后一次投票时被确认为下一年的总裁。
Maldonado表示，2020年，妇女参与本地化的“高级目标”是关注全球会员人数的增长，“这包括建立一个虚拟/全球分会来关注我们的远程会员，并为我们的非美国分会提供更有力的支持。”根据本文的研究内容，建立了六个新的章节。
马尔多纳多在邮件中写道：“我对自己在本地化中的新角色感到非常兴奋。”“在持续增长之后，2021年将是重组和重组的一年，简化和精简我们的组织结构，以便我们能够为持久的成功奠定基础。今天，我们在18个不同的国家设立了28个分会，我们需要加紧努力，迎接增长带来的挑战和机遇。“
Maldonado是本地化领域中著名的有名无实的领袖，他共同创立了两个行业协会：“在阿根廷翻译”和“Think Latin America”，后者是一个广受欢迎的会议，后来成为全球化和本地化协会“Think！系列。她还是美国贸易团体语言公司协会的积极志愿者。
Nimdzi--拥有多语言的组织--是一个正式的妇女本地化合作伙伴。
