Our History

EIS was formed in 2003 by our President, Theresa Slater. Herself a nationally certified Interpreter with a strong business background, she saw the desire for a more customer focused approach to people needing interpreting and translation services. One of her prominent strengths are the people ​that have come alongside her to drive the company. Her sons, Justin and Trevor Slater, have both been with the company over a decade and Corissa Hedrick, Director of Spoken Languages, is coming up on her tenth year. This experienced leadership gives EIS the ​strength to keep it the preeminent language service provider in the industry.
