Last week, the Ohio Latino Affairs Commission was proud to host its annual Hispanic Legislative Visit Day. The event convened nearly 300 community leaders from across the state to foster dialogue with each other and with legislators on the challenges and opportunities facing Ohio’s Hispanic community. The full-day event included legislative panels, lobbying and policy workshops, a networking luncheon, a keynote address, and breakout sessions on topics ranging from Immigration and Civil Rights to Electing Latinos to Office.
