OCHLA offers OLAnet Website

Columbus: In an effort to gather and disseminate information, stimulate public awareness and enhance the Latino Community Network, the Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs (OCHLA) is launching OLAnet, a web based technology tool that will enable everyone to find, distribute, and communicate information of interest to Latino and varied audiences in the Ohio community.

Training sessions will be conducted across the state during the month of November, 2007.  The workshops will include an overview presentation on OLAnet, and the OCHLA Community Alliance Network model.  During this event, OCHLA will conduct a hands-on demonstration of the OLAnet technology, and participants will have the opportunity to register their respective organizations into the OLAnet database, post news and events relevant to each group’s activities.

“OLAnet will bring together resources, information and knowledge from across the State.    We believe this tool comes at a critical time for Latino and Latino serving organizations, to take advantage of technology to close the gap and open our communication channels across Ohio,” expressed Ezra C. Escudero, OCHLA’s executive director.
