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

December Diversity Calendar Highlights: December is a remarkable month filled with celebrations, learning opportunities, and events that showcase the beauty of diversity and unity. Around the globe, families can discover traditions such as Hanukkah, where candles are lit, games are enjoyed, and tasty treats are shared, or Christmas, a time for families to gather, exchange gifts, and sing cheerful songs. Kwanzaa emphasizes important values like unity and creativity, while Bodhi Day invites reflection on the enlightenment of the Buddha. In Guam, December 8 marks the Santa Marian Kamalen holiday, a cherished occasion to honor the island's patron saint, while the 17th Annual Tour of Guam Cycling fosters community spirit and fitness. The winter solstice, celebrated in many cultures, symbolizes the return of longer days with hope and light, and World AIDS Day encourages compassion and awareness. This vibrant month also features Cyber Monday, the National Guard Birthday, Guam’s Flotilla Change of Watch Ceremony, and National Human Rights Month, reminding us to embrace and celebrate the unique qualities that make our world so rich and diverse.

DSO-PV Poster Design Contest


There is a need for a variety of flyer/posters for our Program Visitors to use and post at their visit locations to help advertise all of the various Recreation Boating Safety outreach that the Auxiliary offers to the public.

To help fill this need, District 14’s DSO-PV, Adam Lipka, has created a contest with the approval of our District leadership for our members to design our first flyer / poster for use in our district during National Safe Boating Week this year.  This first poster will be used for advertising Vessel Safety Checks.  With the idea that they can be placed up at various locations prior to a Vessel Examiner "Ramp Watch' or "Dock Walk" event so that the public can be made aware of the location and time of such an event and possess sufficient information prior from the Auxiliary website or other resources to prepare to pass ahead of time.

All submissions should be made by the members via their Flotilla Commanders, who should review the submission prior to forwarding the submission to the DSO-PV via email at ofcalipka@yahoo.com.  The contest is open to all District 14 Auxiliary members so please share this information with your shipmates. 

Any questions may be submitted to the DSO-PV as well via email at ofcalipka@yahoo.com
