Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.-Xi Nu Omega Chapter

Happy Too Too Tuesday AKAlades! 💖💚

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.® — Xi Nu Omega Chapter proudly celebrates our sister, Carla Jackson, MSW, on her retirement from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) following an exceptional 32½-year career.

Over her distinguished career, Carla devoted her professional life to public service and child welfare, earning her Master of Social Work degree from Loyola University and serving for more than 26 years as a Public Service Administrator within the Division of Child Protection. Most recently, she served as the TA Senior Public Service Administrator at the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center and concluded her tenure leading the 1911 Division of Child Protection Field Office.

Bringing over three decades of leadership, Carla collaborated with multidisciplinary teams—including law enforcement, medical professionals, and legal entities—to advance coordinated services for children and families impacted by trauma. Her extraordinary contributions were formally recognized by the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center with a permanent commemorative plaque dedicated in her honor.

Carla, your leadership, passion, and unwavering commitment to public service and protecting our youth are deeply valued and do not go unnoticed. Congratulations on a remarkable career and a lasting legacy of service! 🌸✨
