About the Council of Forensic Organizations

Jan 212011

The Council of Forensic Organizations is an intercollegiate organization consisting of representatives of various national speech and debate organizations. COFO was started in 1984 to increase dialogue between the organizations. One of the main purposes of COFO was to create a national tournament calendar. However, COFO has also become involved with general issues related to the intercollegiate speech and debate communities.
