Awards

The ILA is pleased to recognize the achievements of those active in the field of leadership with the following awards.

The Kenneth E. Clark Student Research Award
The Kenneth E. Clark Student Research Award is named in honor of the distinguished scholar and former Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL). The ILA partners with CCL, a top-ranked, global provider of executive education, to recognize outstanding unpublished papers by undergraduate and graduate students. Submissions may be either empirically or conceptually based. Multi-disciplinary approaches to research are welcomed. The paper should focus on some aspect of leadership or leadership development. Recipients are honored at the annual ILA conference each year where they present their work in a special session.  In addition to expenses to the conference, recipients receive $1000 and a complimentary ILA membership.

Jablin Dissertation Award
The Jablin award was established to honor and celebrate the life of Dr. Fredric M. Jablin (1952-2004) and is given annually to a scholar whose recently completed dissertation demonstrates substantial insights and implications for the study of leadership.  Applicants are welcome from any discipline on any topic. The ILA partners with the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond to publicize and recognize the outstanding scholarship of the recipient.  Recipients are honored at the annual ILA conference each year where they present their work in a special session.  In addition to expenses to the conference, recipients receive $1000 and a complimentary ILA membership.

Student Case Competition
Begun in 2007, the annual student case competition pits students attending ILA's annual global conference against one another in a contest where teams analyze a real world case involving contemporary leadership issues and, develop a specific set of strategic recommendations that address key issues in the case. Teams present their case to a panel of judges and the winning team shares a $1000 award.

Leadership Legacy Award
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.
