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.

Golden Key and Lighthouse Awards

Attention, all instructors! The Education Directorate has just made a groundbreaking announcement that is sure to make your year! They have just created not one but TWO additional award certificates to recognize your hard work and dedication to teaching.

 

You heard that right - TWO brand new certificates that acknowledge the sheer number of instruction hours that these superhuman instructors have logged in a single year. The current Auxiliary Annual PE Service Performance ribbon recognizes those who have completed 30 hours of instruction. But we all know that there are some instructors out there who go way beyond that mark. Those instructors will be rewarded with the prestigious E-Directorate Golden Key Award for any combination of 50 lead hours of Public Education and/or Member Training instruction!

 

But wait, there's more! For those truly exceptional instructors who have gone the extra mile, there's the illustrious E-Directorate Lighthouse Award. This award is reserved for instructors who have put in an incredible combination of 100 PE and/or MT lead hours. That's right, you heard correctly, ONE HUNDRED HOURS! It's an achievement that shines like a beacon in the night, guiding others toward excellence.

 

So, if you're an instructor who's been working tirelessly, pushing yourself to new heights, then these awards are for you. These awards let the world know that you're a true superstar in the field of teaching and that your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed. This is a marvelous opportunity to be recognized for your extraordinary commitment to education. If you're ready to shine bright like a lighthouse or unlock the golden door to success, start putting in those lead hours and let the Education Directorate reward you for your hard work and dedication!

 

Whether you're striving for the Golden Key or the Lighthouse Award, you know you're part of an elite group of instructors who are making a real difference in the world. Get ready to shine because the Education Directorate has just turned up the excitement factor to 11!

 

Logistics for awarding certificates:

 

•  Tracking of lead hours will be through AuxData II records.

•  AuxData hours will be examined twice yearly, on June 30 and December 31.

•  The E-Directorate will prepare the Certificate for distribution, signed by the Director of the E-Directorate.

•   Certificates will be electronically delivered through the Chain of Leadership and Management to the Flotilla Commander for printing and presentation.

 

We are grateful to all of our instructors for their dedication and hard work. These new awards are a small way to show our appreciation for all that they do. We are excited to honor these outstanding instructors with these new awards. They are a testament to the quality of our education program and the dedication of our instructors.
