Our Executive Team
Gina D'Amore
MAIG President
Gina D'Amore, MAIG President, is a member of the Deaf community. She brings a first-person perspective as a consumer of interpreting and transcription services. Throughout her professional career, community work, graduate studies, and personal life, Gina has depended on interpreters, so she understands the difficulties that can result from using unskilled practitioners. Gina co-founded MAIG to build a new way to shape the interpreting field, creating a unique model to source highly qualified professional interpreters who comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf Code of Professional Conduct in a common mission to ensure communication accessibility for the D/HH community. Gina was born Deaf to Deaf parents and is part of a large multi-generational Deaf family. We believe that there is no other subject matter expert more embedded in and knowledgeable about the inner workings of the Deaf community than our President. She has taught ASL and Deaf Culture at the college level and led community events at some of our customer sites.
