The intention of this MIG is to support knowledge and practice for next generation leadership, in collaboration with other ILA MIGs, by building community and connection among all ILA members who hold an interest in this area. Some possible activities include, intergenerational mentorship programs, a presentation track at the global conference, special events or receptions at the global conference, collaboration on youth leadership initiatives, opportunities for exchanges and visits or practice sharing, and articles and blogs on youth leadership.
