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.

IRENSIA: U.S.COAST GUARD WEEK GUAM 2024

The week-long celebration of the U.S. Coast Guard in Guam, themed 'Irensia*(CHamoru for Heritage), is a tribute to the rich legacy and enduring presence of the Coast Guard in the region. The events, beginning on July 29 and closely following the 80th anniversary of Guam Liberation Day, highlight the crew's role in community resilience, safeguarding maritime interests, and promoting peace and security. From official proclamations and traditional blessings to family gatherings and team challenges, the week encapsulates the spirit of unity and service that defines the Coast Guard's heritage.


The U.S. Coast Guard, established on Aug. 4, 1790. by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, is one of the nation's oldest maritime services. Originally formed as the Revenue Marine to enforce tariff laws and prevent smuggling, the Coast Guard has evolved to encompass a broad range of duties, including search and rescue, maritime safety, environmental protection, and national defense.


Throughout its history. the Coast Guard has played a vital role in protecting the nation's shores, aiding mariners in distress, and responding to natural and man-made disasters. Its legacy of service is marked by adaptability and resilience, embodying the core values of honor, respect, and devotion to duty.
