LaRed Latina, (Latin Network) was established in the Spring of 1996, as a World Wide Web Forum, for the purpose of disseminating socio-political, cultural, educational, and economic information about Latinos in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe Metro area and the Intermountain Region which includes Metropolitan Areas such as the Salt Lake City/Ogden region, Denver, Phoenix, Tucson, Boise, Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada. Though a series of Directories which identify key leaders and organizations within each community, LaRed Latina, will seek to develop and mobilize networks within networks in the Intermountain Region to assist in generating economic and social self-help programs and projects that will help to improve the overall quality of life of the inhabitants of these communities. LaRed Latina's primary goal is to improve and facilitate communication, cooperation, and sharing of cultural, educational, social, and economic information between these geographically remote and diverse Hispanic communities.
