Getting to Know: William Glasser

As one of the most diverse cities in America, Sacramento is home to a wide range of cultures and languages. It’s crucial for people who have limited English proficiency within these communities to process information accurately as they navigate complex health care, education or social service systems, and William Glasser, CEO of Language World Services, has focused his career on bridging that gap. 

For the past 20 years, his Carmichael-based agency has served Northern California’s linguistic needs with a team of 110 employee interpreters, over half of whom are certified by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters or the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters to serve in complex medical and behavioral health assignments. The company also provides interpreters for conferences, parent-teacher meetings, political polling and other events and situations.
