It's happened! Over the past few years, C.A.D.O. and C.A.S.R.O. have been discussing a joint conference to improve the quality and opportunities for training here in Colorado. This year both organizations will host a two and a half day jammed packed training conference with a tentative list of over 40 classes, including the D.A.R.E. Middle school curriculum, "Keepin it Real". The conference will also include a joint banquet and awards ceremony all for one low and very reasonable registration fee.

The dates of the conference are June 2,3, and 4th, 2010. The conference will be held in the beautiful and recently built Adams City High School loacted at 7200 Quebec Parkway, Commerce City, Colorado.

The cost of the conference will only be $175.00 for members, which includes the $25.00 C.A.D.O. membership dues. Checks and agency purchase orders must be made out to CASRO. For the $175.00 registration, you have access to all the training, breakfast for three days, lunch for two days and the banquet. Additional banquet tickets will be made available to other guest not participating in the training conference. If you are not a C.A.D.O. member, the conference registration is $250.00 and does not include the middle school training. See the link below for tentative workshop sessions and presenters. Please remember that this list of training workshops is constantly changing in an effort to provide the most up to date and informative conference experience, so please check it often for updates.
