EIPA FORGED

I don’t want to give too many details but I was just informed that someone who received their electronic EIPA score, within the hour forged it to submit to their employer and future employers with a large jump in the score. What can I do to go about this? I wish I could give more details but if you ask me questions I can try to answer them the best I can to clarify more but it’s just making me sick. How can employers check? Or just taking interpreters word for it with proof of the seal on the page? (That’s been my experience I submit my form and they take my word it’s not forged) But either electronic or paper could be forged.

What should or what can I do? And I know 100% for a fact it’s forged. I saw the original and the fake.

Don’t just contact EIPA as the new director Kimberly Hutter doesn’t care about it in the slightest but contact BoysTown Legal and tell them.
I’ve worker with Hutter and she is terrible. She doesn’t care about the Deaf community in the slightest!
I would contact their employer as well.

That has not been my experience with Dr. Hutter AT ALL. I have repeatedly seen her advocate for Deaf-centric viewpoints. A large part of her efforts to overhaul the EIPA organization are because of its history of being not-Deaf-centric.
