Mission Statement:
The purpose of this Network is to provide a forum for public school speech-language pathologists to share intervention ideas, assessment tools, network, and be a source of continuing education.
February 2, 2012 9:30 pm:
The Metro Speech-Language Symposium is scheduled to occur as planned (both Pre-Conference and Conference). Metro recognizes that adverse weather can make it difficult or even dangerous to travel. We hope registrants will understand that Metro is under a contract with The Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows, and we are obligated to pay for the use of the facility, food and beverages, regardless of weather or attendance. Metro will always hold the conference, even in the case of a snowstorm. We apologize for any difficulty this may cause. Metro cannot be held responsible for events beyond our control (including weather and terrorism related causes) prohibiting your attendance. Thank you for your continued support and understanding under these circumstances.

Funding Sources:
The Metro Speech-Language Network strives to be financially self-supporting so it can continue with its grassroots efforts. All proceeds from the registration fees collected and the money gained through the Silent Auction fundraiser is used to finance the convention the following year. Hotel rental, meals and snacks at the convention make up the bulk of our expenses. Various individuals, school districts and businesses throughout Colorado donate items for the silent auction.
The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) annually contributes money to help offset the cost of the conference keynote speakers.
