OLAnet Website, Database and Web Content Management at the Service of
Latinos in Ohio

 

Columbus, OH - 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 across the
state to find, distribute, and communicate information of interest to
Latino and varied audiences in each 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 Escudero, OCHLA's Executive Director.

 

To facilitate the training, there will be two sessions available in each
location. Organizations interested in attending, may contact Mrs.
Cavanaugh (614) 466-8333 or email lilleana.cavanaugh at ohio.gov for
further information.
