As of Thursday May 21st our staff stopped receiving emails from 'external' contacts that were sent to our ***.org email addresses. It appears that this domain has expired. We are working to get it resolved, but in the meantime, you can email us at ***.oh.gov email domain. Feel free to use this domain going forward because we may not be able to get the domain back. The beginning (name) of the email address is the same for the person you are trying to contact.
