As part of the 10th Anniversary celebration in 2008, ILA began work on a new
project that will carry into both the future of the ILA and the future of
leadership studies: The Leadership Legacy Project. The ILA will induct
individuals from the field of leadership studies into the Legacy Project by
presenting them with Lifetime Achievement Awards. Honorees will be selected
based on their significant and diverse contributions to the field of leadership.
In addition to being honored at an annual conference, each honoree's portrait
will be proudly displayed on the newly created Legacy Hall at the James
MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership at the University of Maryland.
Throughout the 2008 conference, award recipients
hosted special sessions with conference attendees. These sessions allowed the
Legacy Project inductees to explore the conference theme, Global Leadership:
Portraits of the Past, Visions for the Future, from their own unique
perspectives.
Following is a brief snapshot of the contributions that each of
these internationally renowned scholars have contributed to the field of
leadership.
