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.

If you have any questions about the ILEAD Program direct them to COMO

Diversity Calendar Highlights

November Diversity Calendar Highlights: November is a vibrant month filled with events and celebrations that highlight the importance of diversity and awareness. As we commemorate All Souls Day and reflect on World Peace Day, it's a time to remember those who've impacted our lives and strive for harmony. This month also shines a light on important causes such as World Diabetes Day and Diabetes Awareness Month, encouraging us to learn more and support those affected. Thanksgiving offers a chance to express gratitude and share in the joy of togetherness, while Black Friday adds a sprinkle of excitement with shopping fun. In November, we also honor Native American Heritage Month, recognizing the rich cultures and histories of Native Americans, and National Family Caregivers Month, which reminds us to appreciate those who care for others. Universal Children’s Day invites us to celebrate and protect children's rights around the globe, aligning perfectly with National Adoption Awareness Month, which advocates for the needs of children and families. In addition to these observances, don't miss out on exciting events like the University of Guam’s Let’s Cook Workshop and Theatre Fall Concert, the 37th Annual Language Arts Conference, and the colorful Guam International Dragon Boat Festival. Join in the fun of the D204 Lions International Community Story Time Literacy Partnership on November 16, bring joy to the GAIN Fur Ball, and explore local culture at the AgriNet Guam Trade Show and Expo. Also, don’t forget to share the importance of boating safety and inform others that our Boat America course will be offered on November 9 and 16, 2024. The month wraps up with the Brotherhood of Veteran MC's Diabetes Awareness Run, promoting health and camaraderie on November 30.

The Coast Guard Cutter Myrtle Hazard (WPC 1139) arrived at its new homeport in Santa Rita, Guam on Thursday.

The crew of the Myrtle Hazard traveled from Key West, Florida to Guam, covering a distance of over 10,000 nautical miles during the two month journey.

The new Fast Response Cutter (FRC) is the first of three scheduled to be stationed on Guam and replaces the 30-year old 110-foot Island-class patrol boats. FRCs are equipped with advanced command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems and boast greater range and endurance.

“FRC’s in Guam strengthen and affirm the U.S. Coast Guard’s operational presence in Oceania,” said Lt. Tony Seleznick, commanding officer of the Myrtle Hazard. “We increase the fleet’s range, endurance, and capabilities to deter illegal behavior, support Search and Rescue, promote maritime stability, and strengthen partnerships.”

The FRCs represent the Coast Guard’s commitment to modernizing service assets to address the increasingly complex global Maritime Transportation System. Like the Island-class patrol boats before them, the Myrtle Hazard will support the people of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and our international partners throughout Oceania.

FRC’s are designed for various missions including drug interdiction, defense operations, maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, marine safety, and environmental protection. FRC’s can reach speeds of up to 28 knots and endure 5 days out at sea while covering over 2,500 nautical miles.

“Myrtle Hazard will significantly increase the capabilities of the Coast Guard throughout the region,” said Capt. Chris Chase, commander, Coast Guard Sector Guam. “I am excited to welcome the crew of the Myrtle Hazard home and look forward to them conducting operations with our partners in the near future.”

Myrtle Hazard, the cutter’s namesake, was the first female to enlist in the Coast Guard. Enlisting in January, 1918, she became a radio operator during World War I. She ended her service in 1919 as an Electrician’s Mate 1st Class.

Each FRC has a standard 24-person crew. This will bring over 70 new Coast Guard members to Guam, along with a projected 100 family members. In addition to the crews of the three ships additional Coast Guard support members and their families will also be in Guam.
