Illinois CMS
Illinois' primary central service agency delivering shared resources to State agencies, employees and local government.
- For #BlackHistoryMonth, we are spotlighting CMS Statewide Manager for African American D&I Gloria Batey. Through her leadership, Gloria carries the mission of the Civil Rights movement, asking an essential question: what more can be done? Her answer is clear. She's not done yet.
- Nearly 100 years ago, historian Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week. Over the decades, it grew alongside the Civil Rights Movement and expanded into a full month of recognition in 1976. Today, Black History Month is a celebration of the past, present, and future.
- Honoring the past, celebrating the present, and shaping the future. This Black History Month marks 100 years of resilience. We are proud to host a Black History Month discussion featuring IL House @speakerwelchil.bsky.social and CMS Director Raven DeVaughn as we reflect on the past 100 years.
- Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His vision of equality continues to inspire us to build stronger, more inclusive communities. State offices are closed today in observance. Full list of State holidays: cms.illinois.gov/personnel/employeer…
