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.

GUAM AND SAIPAN FLOTILLA PARTNERSHIP FEATURE:

September is a month filled with opportunities to learn, celebrate, and make a positive impact on our community and the world. It's National Hispanic Heritage Month, where we honor the rich cultural contributions of Hispanic Americans, and it's also National Guide Dog Month, recognizing the incredible work of guide dogs in helping those with vision impairments. September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and World Alzheimer’s Month, reminding us of the importance of mental health and supporting those affected by these conditions. Labor Day celebrates the achievements of workers, while the International Day of Charity encourages us to give back. On September 6th, Read A Book Day invites us to dive into new stories, and National Suicide Prevention Week spreads awareness on how to support those in need. Positive Thinking Day on September 13th encourages us to look on the bright side, and the International Day of Democracy reminds us of the importance of participating in our government. Mexican Independence Day and Constitution Day celebrate key moments in history, while International Children’s Day and the International Day of Peace focus on the well-being and harmony of our future generations. American Business Women’s Day honors the contributions of women in the workforce, and the International Day of Sign Language promotes inclusivity for all. Native American Day, National Good Neighbor Day, World Heart Day, and World Maritime Day each highlight the importance of community, health, and the environment. Mark your calendar for the USCG Auxiliary District 14 Fall Conference on September 8 and 9, Chamorro Standard Time, and don't miss the Boat America Course on September 28 and 29. Be sure to join us on September 7, 2024, for the D204 Lions International Community Story Time Literacy Partnership, where we will come together to celebrate literacy, boating safety, and the community!
