Students
"The ILA is the only organization that brings together leaders from many sectors, scholars and educators from various disciplines, and students of leadership to share knowledge and experience at the highest level" -- Kim Campbell (R), Secretary General, the Club Madrid; Former Prime Minister Canada

I am an enthusiastic member of ILA primarily because its annual conferences are the most exciting and intellectually challenging meetings I have ever attended.  In addition, thru ILA we are all working together on furthering crucial aspects of the developing field of leadership-- James MacGregor Burns (center), Pulitzer-Prize winning biographer and author of Leadership 

I enjoy being a member of ILA because it is both a professional organization and a community of individuals committed to exploring effective leadership practices and principles. It’s the place where I feel a part of, and interact, with scholars, practitioners and learners of leadership.-- Glenda Wildschut (R), Past Commissioner, South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Cape Town, South Africa

Students from the University of the West Indies, Jamaica attend the ILA conference

The ILA connects me to the best practices in leadership development and top research on leadership theories, both of which are extremely useful in my daily work.  In a broader sense, the ILA also inspires me to take part in the development of world class leaders.-- Maarten van Beek, Leadership and Organisational Effectiveness Manager, Unilever

ILA is an investment that pays off in learning and professional relationships that are unbeatable-- Dennis Roberts (R), Associate Vice President of Student Affairs, Miami University

The ILA is one of the few places where serious leadership scholars can share their research with each other-- Joanne Ciulla, Professor, Coston Family Chair in Leadership and Ethics, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond
