Your expertise is needed!

ILCA is seeking presenters and facilitators for the 2016 ILCA Annual Conference as well as calling for applications for the 2017 ILCA Annual Conference Task Force Chair.

Are you a seasoned lactation specialist with a knack for demonstrating clinical skills? Are you passionate about providing training on issues of equity, diversity, or cultural humility? Do you love to teach others how to navigate the complexities of ethical dilemmas? Then ILCA wants YOU to apply to facilitate or present these in-demand topics at the 2016 ILCA Annual Conference!

Last Call for Concurrent Sessions
Don’t miss your opportunity to submit a proposal for a one- or two-hour presentation. The Conference planners are especially interested in concurrent sessions focused on equity, ethics, and clinical topics! The Speaker Submission Site will be open until midnight 30 October 2015 (US Eastern Standard Time).

Clinical Skills Facilitators Needed
The Conference planners are also seeking seasoned IBCLCs to facilitate our popular Clinical Skills Rotation at the 2016 conference. Facilitators provide demonstrations and support hands-on skill practice for beginning practitioners and experienced consultants during rotations between skill stations in each two-hour session. If you are interested in being a Clinical Skills Facilitator or would like to recommend a Facilitator, please contact Cynthia Good Mojab, Education Manager, at education@ilca.org by 25 November 2015.

Though the speakers and workshop presenters are a cornerstone of the ILCA Annual Conference, not everyone integral in making the Annual Conference so successful is as visible. There are many ILCA staff members and willing volunteers who provide the vision and nuts-and-bolts support needed to co-create the Annual Conference every year. We invite you to apply to join our team for 2017!
