Board of Director Elections
The ILCA Board of Directors, in its November 2014 Lactation Matters blog, described three goals as part of its vision of, “World health transformed through breastfeeding and skilled lactation care:”
- Establish collaborative partnerships with other regional, national, and international organizations;
- Mentor newly developing organizations, worldwide, that promote IBCLC professional development and care;
- Build an ILCA infrastructure of equity and diversity, by reducing barriers of entry into the profession and into ILCA leadership positions.
Accordingly, candidates to run for the position of ILCA Director, ideally, would:
- Embrace this strategic vision,
- Bring geographic diversity, especially from outside the USA
- Be alert to regional and cross-cultural differences as they occur within the global breastfeeding community
- Be sensitized to the challenges of ensuring equitable access to positions of leadership within ILCA for currently underrepresented social groups
Please take time to review the profiles of each nominee, by clicking on their names, prior to casting your vote. You will vote for three.
