ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION OF HISPANIC 
     STATE EMPLOYEES

       MISSION STATEMENT

        Our mission as a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization is
        to advocate for the employment, educational and
        professional development of Hispanic 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.

        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.
