ILA Members, be sure to
visit
ILASpace, the place where you can connect,
converse, and collaborate with other members.
ILASpace is organized around groups.
Some groups are affiliated with MIGs or
Learning Communities, etc. Other groups
have sprung up around topics of interest
to members. Any member with an idea
for a group is encouraged to create one
and post their thoughts!

ILA offers members the opportunity to participate
in four different types of communities:
These Communities provide opportunities
for networking and exploration of common interests as well
as pushing the boundaries of knowledge and practice in leadership.
Join an ILA Member Community by logging
into the Members Only area of the ILA website and following the links to
My Profile > My Leadership Interests.
If you have any questions about ILA
Member Communities, please contact our Membership Team
at
membership@ila-net.org or call +1.301.405.0804.
Interest Group affiliation is encouraged
for all ILA members. As a benefit of ILA membership,
one may affiliate with up to three different interest groups,
designating one as the primary, secondary, and tertiary
affiliation. Once a member affiliates, they are eligible
to participate in the leadership of that group, vote in
the annual election, and participate in any activities organized
by the group. MIG leaders will contact members affiliated
with their MIG as appropriate.
The Business MIG allows individuals involved
in leadership initiatives, research, and practice related
to the business sector to share ideas, challenges, trends,
questions, and/or experiences in this forum. Interest areas
include, but are not limited to: international/global issues;
talent development; ethics/social responsibility; spirituality;
corporate culture/diversity; organizational effectiveness;
strategy; virtual/team dynamics; corporate governance; entrepreneurship;
industry-specific insights; transformational change; and/or,
other emerging inter-disciplinary perspectives on business
leadership.
The MIG for Leadership Development is a
forum for discussion and dialogue about best practices,
new ideas, and the integration and application of leadership
theory and practice focused on leadership development in
the public and private sectors. Members include leadership
development consultants, trainers, program directors, coaches,
practicing leaders, and other professionals who are reflective
practitioners committed to improving leadership and leadership
development.
The Leadership Education MIG facilitates
the sharing of leadership ideas, methods of teaching and
learning, programs, and curricula. The Leadership Education
MIG is comprised of members for whom the teaching of leadership
is integral or of interest, and who are committed to the
development of leadership capacity at educational institutions
and organizations.
The MIG for Public Leadership provides a
forum for those who study or help lead non-profit, social,
civic, political, and governmental institutions. These institutions
are typically characterized by their primary emphasis on
serving the greater good rather than economic gain. The
dialogue sponsored by the Public Leadership MIG confronts
the challenges posed in the public arena and examines potential
leadership strategies and solutions.
The MIG for Scholarship provides a forum
for scholars and practitioners from all disciplines and
fields to interact and mutually further our understanding
of leadership, and to disseminate the results of leadership
scholarship.
Learning communities are small groups of
members who organize around areas of passion, and around
questions that are most critical to our work in the field
of leadership. These communities are transient, forming
when needed and dissolving when the work has been completed.
There has been rich discussion around how Learning Communities
will emerge, be supported, function, and support the mission
of the ILA. Instead of working out every single detail,
we hope to launch a few Learning Communities at the Chicago
conference and use the next year as a meta-learning lab
to capture lessons learned about the formation process,
size, leadership style, the inquiry methodologies, and dissemination,
while enriching our collective learning about how to best
organize and support Learning Communities.
If you are an ILA member interested in initiating a Learning
Community, please
download the following form and submit to the ILA.
Current Learning Communities
ILA affinity groups are intended to help members find other
members with mutual interests for a more sustained conversation and learning
experience. A group of thirty (30) or more members of the ILA may petition the
ILA President to
establish an Affinity Group. Petitions shall be routinely processed unless
special circumstances warrant a review by the Board. Each petition to establish
an Affinity Group must contain a title for the group and be accompanied by a
description of the unique purpose of the group, in contrast to existing Member
Interest Groups.

groups:

Communities organized around geographic

convene regional ILA meetings, roundtables, and forums,
as well as work sessions at the annual conference.
