This is Elizabeth Smith posting. As many of you know, I have chaired the PPC conference for about 10 years. Its an awesome event and so wonderful to connect, learn, and develop as professionals. I have been assigned to some significant projects and cannot chair right now. I would love to see the conference continue but in order for that to happen we need someone willing and able to oversee it happening. Please email [email protected] if you would be willing to step up to the challenge of planning a conference.

Remember how the University is sponsoring the Maternal Infant Assessment and the Advanced Issues in Lactation courses? The first one is a pre requisite for non RN IBCLCs.

You can just take the Maternal Infant Assessment if you don't want both. FYI, I know the instructors for that one and you will be blown away with their knowledge. :)

To register you have to go through their website. Click on education and then courses to find the one you want. They will answer all the questions about the courses. I can answer questions about parking, food, and lodging if you need.

Both will be held at the hospital and I know parking is not the best and the rooms are on the older side but the info will be well worth it!

Home Through its Center for Breastfeeding, Healthy Children Project is the largest national provider of lactation management education for health care providers. More than 4,000 health providers, advocates and facilitators are educated annually through over 90 offerings across the United States.
