Dear ILCA Community:

As we approach the end of 2017, on behalf of the ILCA Board of Directors, I would like to extend to you our heartfelt gratitude for being a part of the ILCA community.

To our members, thank you.

Your support makes it possible for us to work tirelessly towards our mission: To advance the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant profession worldwide through leadership, advocacy, professional development, and research. We are honored to serve you and the profession.

To our volunteers thank you.

Your time, expertise, and talents make it possible for ILCA to achieve the goals of our strategic map. Together, we can provide lactation professionals with the network and resources necessary to best guide practice, advance the IBCLC profession globally, and respond and adapt to local and global lactation community priorities.

May the year ahead bring you joy and hope as you work with families in your community and work with us around the world, transforming world health through breastfeeding and skilled lactation care.

Sincerely,

Michele K. Griswold, PhD, MPH, RN, IBCLC
President, International Lactation Consultant Association
