Dear LILCA Members, May 21, 2015
Our next General Membership meeting will take place on May 26, 2015 at 7PM. We will be meeting at the Winthrop Annex building on Old Country Road. We have a lot of business to discuss including: 1. 501c3 status: I have been working with and accountant and a lawyer on this. Apparently, we must pursue this as it is required by USLCA to retain chapter status. It is also a requirement for obtaining free meeting rooms and grants larger than $500. The biggest road block right now is there seems to be no documentation surrounding the founding of the association. If anyone has information pertaining to this please bring it to my attention 2. 2016 elections: The current board’s terms are up this year. We will need to establish a nominating committee. Please consider nominating yourself or another member for board positions. The board members will give a brief synopsis of their duties, so that you may consider if you are suited to the work. 3. Meeting rooms/places 4. Membership & dues 5. IBCLC Licensure 6. Membership benefits of ILCA/USLCA 7. WBW celebration 8. Educational topic for Sept 29 meeting After the business portion we will have our educational portion presented by our own Kathy Waldow. It is entitled "How to talk so the mother will listen and listen so the mother will talk. The Lactation Consultant and the New Mother- communicating effectively by using skills for listening, clarifying, building rapport and imparting information." Since it’s May, our refreshments will have a Mexican theme. I hope to see you here. Sincerely, Jeanne Rosser BA, IBCLC, RLC President, LILCA Employment Opportunity-please see below
