Nicole Lenner ​​

My first contact with TA was in 2002, a love at first sight experience. TA-training for me was a divers journey and a stable compagnion through some life incidents and a rather intense inner developmental process. I did my CTA exam in 2014, followed by TEW at Santiago de Compostela in 2016, now (2021) heading towards TSTA exam.
As EATA delegate for DGTA I am enthusiastic about building bridges between the two associations and contributing to the quality of our exam processes and communication between colleagues throughout Europe and the world. I feel that walking the talk with regard to our ethical principles is more then ever needed in the volatile, often hostile and endangered world we live in.

Mayke_Wagner-Froboese  ​​

My TA journey started in 2001, when I did my 101 and decided to join a TA training group in the organizational field. In my role as consultant / facilitator for team and organizational development processes, TA was and is a helpful base. I passed my CTA in 2008, took part in a TEW in 2010 and passed my TSTA exam in 2016/17. From 2014 to 2018 I organised the EATA exams in Rösrath as Local Exam Supervisor. I enjoyed creating and maintaining a framework for stimulating examination processes – both for the candidates and the examiners. Therefore, I joined COC after I was elected as EATA delegate for Germany – contributing my LES experience and my enthusiasm for high-quality exams.

I was IDTA co-founder & President 2003-7, 2010-4, and am now IDTA Executive Director. I am Editor of the International Journal of TA Research & Practice since its launch in 2010, and am Project Manager of the TA Proficiency Awards and TA Translation Dictionaries.
