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

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.

Value of Diversity Revisited with Special Feature: Guam Flotilla June 2022 Diversity Calendar

Guam Flotilla June 2022 Diversity Calendar

It is essential that we continue to value diversity and the richness it brings to all our Auxiliary members, family, and friends.  “Diversity is essential.  It enables us to appreciate others from all walks of life from every part of the globe.  It embraces acceptance and respect.  This is because every individual is unique and can contribute greatly to missions,” said DCDR/SO-DV Dr. Matilda Naputi Rivera.

Rivera said Division 2 embraces diversity.  She said that FSO-DV Mae Mendiola and AFSO-DV Jovita Alcantra took the lead in strengthening values that promote diversity and include activities that allowed all auxiliary members to embrace cultures and positive differences.  This month's calendar highlights various events, including National Fishing & Boating Week, Flag Day, Father's Day, Philippines Independence Day, Juneteenth, Iceland Independence Day, World Refugee Day, World Rainforest Day, Chicago Blues Festival, National Logistics Day, Social Media Day, and more!

Diversity calendars are published in the Guam Flotilla's monthly newsletters for all to learn from and celebrate the richness each month brings.  This is because everyone is a valuable part of what we do to serve the public.

With the recent easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the Division will revisit diversity social gatherings with rich cultural servings from regions in the Pacific and other parts of the world.  Next month's diversity social gathering will feature Chamorro cuisine.  Past gatherings also included delicacies from the Philippines, Germany, and more! The fellowship remains positive and encouraging, and this is evident in the camaraderie shared among all members.
