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.

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.

March 8, 2022

Meeting Time: 6:30 p.m.

Location: ZOOM

Guam Flotilla March 2022 Diversity Calendar

The USCG Auxiliary Guam Flotilla meeting scheduled for March 8, 2022, continued as scheduled and fostered fellowship amongst all. We were reminded that we must continue to value diversity and the richness it brings to all our Auxiliary members, family, and friends. “Diversity is essential. It enables us to appreciate others from all walks of life from every part of the globe. It embraces acceptance and respect. This is because every individual is unique and can contribute greatly to missions,” said DCDR/SO-DV Dr. Matilda Naputi Rivera.

Rivera said Division 2 embraces diversity. She said that FSO-DV Mae Mendiola and AFSO-DV Jovita Alcantara took the lead in strengthening values that promote diversity and include activities that allowed all auxiliary members to embrace cultures and positive differences. This month's calendar highlights various events from CHamoru Month, Women's History Month, Zero Discrimination Day, Read Across America, International Women's Day, Harriet Tubman's Birthday, National Vaccination Day, St. Patrick's Day, International Day of Happiness, International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Purple Day, and more!

Diversity calendars are published in the Guam Flotilla's monthly newsletters for all to learn from and celebrate the richness each month brings. This is because everyone is a valuable part of what we do to serve the public. Let us continue to embrace diversity and make our community a safer and more enjoyable one!
