ELIZABETH COLÓN

Elizabeth Colón is a speaker, contributing author, philanthropist and CEO of the award-winning language service company, Metaphrasis Language and Cultural Solutions, LLC. Growing up in a home with two deaf sisters and parents who spoke very little English, Elizabeth saw the many ways that language can become a barrier for individuals who do not have the means to communicate on their own. Her experiences inspired her to become a language advocate and provide a voice for individuals who may not have the means to communicate on their own. In the spirit of giving back, Elizabeth is currently the board chair of the Norwegian American Hospital Foundation and was recently installed as the first Latina president of the National Association of Business Owners (NAWBO), Chicago Chapter.
