This year's theme, "Changes, Challenges, Opportunities: Re-Evaluating Equity in State Government" denotes the Association's continued commitment in supporting Hispanic State Employees and Latino Communities. IAHSE has maintained its' partnership with Central Management Services to continue overseeing the implementation of the Hispanic Employment Plan, to increase Hispanic employment and seek promotion of qualified Hispanics to decision-making positions.

The Training Conference affords state agencies an excellent opportunity to exhibit, promote agency services, and recruit Hispanics. We expect nearly 250 attendees this year from colleges and universities, statewide government employees, and community-based organizations. Our Conference is a significant component of IAHSE's ongoing effort, to support Hispanic/Bilingual State Employees and give them an opportunity to attend professional development workshops to enhance their skills and promote awareness of services.
