The
Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan Award
has been a part of Ohio Latino Affairs for nearly 30 years,
tracing back its history to the Distinguished Service Awards of
the Commission in the early 1980's. Each spring,
commissioners award the "DHO" to Latinos in Ohio for their
exemplary service, and the “Nuestra Familia” Award to
non-Ohioans or non-Latinos who have in some way made a beneficial
impact to the Hispanic community in
Ohio.
