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.
