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!

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!

February Diversity Calendar Highlights


February is an exciting month for celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity. With Black History Month, we honor the accomplishments and contributions of African Americans throughout history. It's a time to learn about influential figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Harriet Tubman. Additionally, February is also known for Valentine’s Day, which reminds us to express love and appreciation to the people who bring joy and happiness into our lives.  It is also LGBTQ+ History Month, where we recognize the achievements and struggles of the LGBTQ+ community. It's an opportunity to educate others about the importance of acceptance, love, and equality for all. Let's embrace diversity and teach our community to celebrate the uniqueness of every individual.
