While our differences offer a richness of perspective and approaches to life together, we know it takes openness, understanding, and a commitment to mine them as opportunities for a fuller life together. We hope that our time examining the research and practice of leadership in the complexities of our ever changing world, will lead to knowledge building and development of leaders and followers equipped to create a world of inclusion, justice, and dignity. There are so many wonderful offerings in this year’s conference. From the multitude of pre-conferences, to outstanding keynotes from four different Denver Planning sectors, to the Themed track and Member Interest Group tracks, to the special Committee: meetings and evening events, we encourage you to plan well and expose Tiffany Anderson yourself to something you have not necessarily done in the past. Expand the Mark Beese edges of your own knowledge, experience, and relationships. Reach beyond Peter Bemski your norms of conference participation by choosing topics that might stretch Juana Bordas your intellect in new ways, or challenge your daily practices or teaching of Lynn Coffey leadership. Go home with new relationships for building inclusion in your Fay Coulouris thinking, research, teaching, and life. Blenda Crawford Marlene DeLaRosa Denver is a crossroads that grew significantly as a result of the pioneering Robert Finkelmeier of the U.S. But it began with a very diverse population indigenous to Pat Greer the area long before the explorers. We invite you to be risk takers as our Paul Kosempel earliest settlers and pioneers were known to be. May this conference seed Carolyn Love a renewed set of research and best practices for leadership that bridges the Gretta Mincer great divides. Linda Olson Trish Orman On behalf of the ILA Denver 2012 Planning Committee, welcome to the Norman Provizer Rocky Mountains and the great city of Denver! Sheila Wright Linda G. OLSON Chair, 2012 Conference/ Senior Lecturer and Director, Pioneer Leadership Program, University of Denver 2 DEAR ILA COLLEAGUES, to be in the mile high city with all of you It is exciting celebrating our fourteenth conference as the International Leadership Association and our second as an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit association. The ILA has been on the move—literally and figuratively. We relocated to new offices in Silver Spring, Maryland on June 30 and should your travels bring you to the metro- Washington, D.C. area you are most welcome to visit. The ILA also moved its virtual systems. The ILA online networking platform (formally ILASpace) is now part of the www.ila-net.org site to maximize your ease of use and its value to members; and, perhaps less noticeable, is the migration of the online Call for Conference Proposals system, which makes it easy to run multiple CFPs. Why the need for multiple CFP's? The answer is truly exciting news! The ILA is boldly moving to increase the number of ILA events held each year. Like this global conference, each will offer: a uniquely rich mix of thoughtful and passionate leadership scholars, educators, and practitioners from diverse professional roles, identities, generations, sectors, and cultures; high quality sessions and keynotes; and locations that give special meaning and context to each conference. Given that distance, convenience, and costs can keep some from the global conference, events in more locations will help broaden the ILA's geographic reach, allow for a more focused exploration of a theme, and advance the mission and strategic plan of the association. Speaking of which, this year was marked by another move: from the second strategic plan to the third. Hundreds of ILA members were involved over the last 18 months in one phase or another of the development of this strategic plan, which was adopted by the Board of Directors on September 12. The next step is to identify action steps that involve all ILA Members and ILA Staff in the necessary work that will make progress on the following strategic imperatives: • Advance the Global Study and Practice of Leadership • Develop and Engage a More Global and Diverse Membership • Strengthen ILA as a Dynamic Sustainable Global Organization Please join us Saturday morning from 08:00–08:45 in the Centennial Ballroom for the second annual ILA Membership Meeting where the ILA officers will provide a detailed report on the ILA's accomplishments and plans. Finally, we would like to recognize and thank all those who contributed to this conference's success, including our sponsors, local planning team, conference program team, member communities, board of directors, and staff. These contributions have resulted in a conference that offers you opportunities to learn and network with colleagues new and old and enjoy all that Denver has to offer including the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Thank you for your participation in the 14th Annual ILA Global Conference. We are so glad you are here!
