IAHSE - Illinois Association of Hispanic State Employees

IAHSE - Illinois Association of Hispanic State Employees Since 1987 IAHSE has been instrumental in addressing issues affecting Latinos in state employment and community services.

Since 1987, IAHSE has been instrumental in addressing issues affecting
Latinos in employment and community services. As an advocate, it is
IAHSE’s intent to remain a viable and effective force impacting the
employment and educational policies which may infringe on the aspirations
of our constituency. Because IAHSE is led by a volunteer Board of Directors and is the FIRST
Hispanic state employees association advocating for Hispanic state
employees’ rights, we would like to encourage all Hispanic state employees
to become members of this organization. We recognize and celebrate the diversity of the Latino culture, but realize
there is strength in numbers when it comes to advocacy.
