          The Illinois Association of Hispanic State Employees' mission as a
          nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization is to advocate for the
          employment, educational and professional development of the Latino
          state employees and to ensure quality services to our Latino
          communities in Illinois.  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.

    IAHSE's major accomplishments include:

 
* Advocated and achieve "Bilingual Pay" for bilingual employees in state government.

   * Created a scholarship fund organization which provides Hispanic students with scholarships.

   * Authored a recruitment report, which was presented to the Governor's office to increase 
      Hispanic employment in Illinois.  Leading to an Executive Order 
by the Governor to mandate 
      state agencies to recruit, hire and promote 
minorities in state government. 

   * Creation of an annual statewide employees training conference/job fair.
