Learn more about this year's competition
Organized by ILA's Leadership Education Member Interest Group (LEMIG), the yearly case competition brings together teams of students to face-off in an event where they analyze and develop a specific set of strategic recommendations that address key issues in a real world case involving a contemporary leadership issue of their choice. The winning team from each division (graduate and undergraduate) receives a $1,000 cash prize and is honored at the closing plenary of the conference.
As part of its 10th Anniversary celebration in 2008, ILA began work on a new program that carries into both the future of the ILA and the future of leadership studies: The Leadership Legacy Program. Each year the ILA confers individuals from the field of leadership with ILA's Lifetime Achievement Award, inducting them into the Leadership Legacy Program at our annual global conference. Honorees are selected based on their significant lifetime contributions including prominent published works, influential support of the body of leadership knowledge and practice resulting in significant contributions to the field of leadership studies.
