WHAT IS ILEAD?

ILEAD is an all Coast Guard Initiative, which was initiated by the Commandant. It stands for Inclusive Leadership, Excellence, and Diversity. It provides our members the opportunity to share concerns and best practices. The Auxiliary has a seat at the table.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Diversity, Inclusion, Leadership, and Excellence are priorities of the U.S. Coast Guard and our leadership at the highest levels.

WHAT IS AN LDAC?

LDAC stands for Leadership Diversity Advisory Council.  It is the "local" unit. Its goal is to create and maintain a positive environment where everyone is encouraged to use their unique talents and skills.

HOW IS MY DISTRICT INVOLVED?

Auxiliary LDACs at the District level invite input from members, share with leadership and pass trends up to Auxiliary leadership and the National ILEAD Council for review and possible action. (Districts may take action to solve problems and implement best practices.)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO MY DISTRICT, DIVISION, FLOTILLA?

Improved Recruiting; Member Retention; Re-engagement of members thinking of leaving, as well as Improved efficiency and morale.

These are not pie in the sky goals.  They are statistically proven.

If you have any questions about the ILEAD Program direct them to COMO

Diversity Calendar Highlights

March Diversity Calendar Highlights: In March, there are several exciting diversity activities. One notable event is the celebration of Women's History Month, which highlights the achievements and contributions of women throughout history. This gives us the opportunity to learn about inspiring women like Lou Leon Guerrero, the first female Guam Governor; Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President of the United States; and Malala Yousafzai, a young activist advocating for girls' education. Additionally, March also marks CHamoru Month on Guam, as well as International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, promoting equality and respect for all races. We encourage you to embrace diversity and celebrate the unique qualities that make each person special. These events provide valuable learning opportunities for all of us to understand and appreciate the importance of inclusivity and acceptance in our world. In celebration of Mes CHamoru, the Valley of the Latte will be hosting the following activities: March 2 - Coconut Oil and Coconut Candy; March 9 - Coconut Leaf Weaving (basket & fan); March 16 - Mwarmwar Workshop; March 23 - Hotnu Bread Baking Workshop; and March 30 - Ti Leaf Lei Making Workshop. Also, don’t forget to join us for the D204 Lions International CHamoru Story Time Literacy Partnership event to hear meaningful and relevant stories and a special message from Coastie!
