Two Wright State University officials were included in a statewide meeting convened by Gov. John Kasich and his wife, Karen, to discuss issues affecting the state’s Latino community.

Grace Ramos, a Wright State trustee, and Tony Ortiz, the Latino community liaison for the university, were among the 25 members of the Latino community from various state agencies who met with Kasich and officials at the Riffe Center in Columbus.

Ortiz said it was the first time in his memory that an Ohio governor met with such a cross section of people from the Latino community.

“He knows that in the future there are going to be a lot of Latinos,” said Ortiz, who heads the Latino Dream Team, a proactive group of Dayton-area Latino organizations.

“He knows he needs to include us and we know we need him as well,” said Ortiz.

Ramos, a former commissioner of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, currently serves on the Wright-Patterson AFB Minority Outreach Committee, is chairwoman of Greene County Children Services and is chairwoman of the Greene County Republican Party.
