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!

These Communities provide opportunities for networking and
exploration of common interests as well as pushing the boundaries of knowledge
and practice in leadership.

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. Affiliate by logging into the Member
Area of the ILA Web site and following the link to "update your online profile."
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.

Communities organized around geographic locale work on issues
specific to those regions and frequently convene regional ILA meetings,
roundtables, and forums, as well as work sessions at the annual conference.
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 interested in initiating a Learning Community, please
download the following form and
submit to the ILA. Current Learning Communities
An affinity group is intended to help members find others with mutual interests for a more sustained conversation. A group of thirty (30) or more Members of the ILA may petition the 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.
After two years, affinity groups can apply to become a Member Interest Group (see
ILA bylaws for more information).
In 2008, ILA was excited to see our two first affinity groups
emerge: The Affinity Group for Leadership Program Directors, Chairs, and Deans;
and the Affinity Group for ILA Student Members.
Learn more about these two affinity groups and how to get involved.
