Hi Ross,

I would suggest OHC to contact  Denise from the Latino Community Association denise at latinocommunityassociation.org and Miriam Vargas Corona from UNIDOS miriam at unidosyamhillcounty.org. They work really close with the Latino Community in Deschutes and Yamhill Counties and they would be excellent panelists for this type of discussion.  They are not OLA people so I'm not sure who would be responsible for their honorarium but their programs are successful, essential and well attended by the Latino Community in their counties.

Thanks,
Marci

Subject: Oregon Heritage Conference - potential
	

Hello Reformistas!
We are helping our colleagues at the Oregon Heritage Commission (OHC) find one or two (or more!) people who would be interested in leading a discussion at OHC's next Oregon Heritage Conference (being held virtually, April 27-29). OHC staff would really like to have a conference session/discussion that focuses on how organizations can build competencies (among staff and/or volunteers) for serving non-English speaking communities better.

I realize this is a wide open topic, and that everyone is feeling spread extremely thin these days.... However, we can offer presenters an honorarium via OLA for your time and expertise. And if this is something that the REFORMA-Oregon division would like to tackle as a group, that would be awesome, too. The more perspectives, the better!

If this sparks any interest, or if you have questions or concerns, please let me know and we can attempt to address them and put you in touch with the OHC staff.

Be well, and take good care!
