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

April Diversity Calendar Highlights: April is Celebrate Diversity Month, National Autism Awareness Month, Poetry Month, and more! It is a time dedicated to recognizing and honoring the diversity surrounding us and the beauty of poetry that exists. It's an opportunity to embrace and learn from differences in gender, race, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, and more, enriching our understanding and acceptance of the vast tapestry of human experience. Celebrate Diversity Month encourages actions such as being considerate to everyone, listening to people from diverse cultures, and learning more about different cultures and lifestyles. This initiative highlights the importance of creating inclusive environments where every individual feels valued and respected, pushing us out of our comfort zones to explore new perspectives and celebrate the unique contributions of all. Check out our Diversity Calendar for other April celebrations, such as World Health Day, National Library Week, Volunteer Recognition Day, World Creativity And Innovation Day, Earth Day, and more! Also, don’t forget to join us for the D204 Lions International Easter Story Time Literacy Partnership event to hear meaningful and relevant stories and a special message from Coastie!

March Diversity Calendar Highlights

For the month of March, we are pleased to share cultural diversity highlights that impact our community.  Please see our March Diversity Calendar for the various features.  In addition, here are just a few of them:  


CHamoru Month: CHamoru Month is an essential time to recognize, commemorate, and promote the unique cultural heritage of the CHamoru people, natives of the Pacific island of Guam. It reinforces their distinct identity, promotes community cohesion, and promotes wider recognition and appreciation of their contributions. We can actively contribute to the preservation and revitalization of the CHamoru culture for future generations by observing CHamoru Month.


Women's History Month: March is Women's History Month, a time to honor the accomplishments and contributions of women throughout history. It is an occasion to recognize the achievements of women in diverse disciplines, such as science, literature, politics, and the arts. Numerous institutions and organizations host events, forums, and exhibitions to highlight women's achievements and struggles and promote gender equality.


International Women's Day: The 8th of March is International Women's Day, a global celebration of women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. It is a day to raise awareness about women's rights and promote gender equality. International Women's Day frequently includes events, campaigns, and initiatives aimed at empowering women and promoting inclusivity.


Finally, March is a time to commemorate the diverse cultures and histories of communities all over the globe. March is frequently the month for celebrations such as CHamoru Month (Guam), Harmony Day (Australia), St. Patrick's Day (Ireland), Holi (India), and International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (UN). These events offer an opportunity to acknowledge and value the richness of cultural diversity and inclusion.
