Message from the President
This is a great time for IBCLCs. With the Affordable Care Act including lactation care as a covered health benefit, the services of IBCLCs may be accessible to more mothers than ever before. USLCA is advocating for IBCLCs and bringing information to you as it becomes available.
At the Board of Directors meeting held just prior to the ILCA conference, we updated our mission, vision, values, and strategic plan. You will note the strong emphasis on the IBCLC. Take a look at the new Mission, Vision, and Values Statement:
MISSION
To advance the IBCLC within the United States through leadership, advocacy, professional development, and research.
VISION
The IBCLC is the recognized professional authority in lactation in the United States.
VALUES:
1. Uphold high standards of professional practice
2. Respect and promote cultural diversity
3. Collaborate with integrity in relationships
4. Operate nationally while being mindful of regional, local and Individual needs
5. Demonstrate responsibility to our community by promoting the best lactation care for the foundation of good health |
