ILCA Program 2022 - 5

A Welcome Message from Our Executive Director
On behalf of the Board
of Directors and the
Conference Program Task
Force, I welcome you to
the 2022 International
Lactation Consultant
Association (ILCA) Annual
Conference.
This year, ILCA celebrates our 36th Annual
Conference representing nearly 4 decades of
widening lactation knowledge that benefits you,
families, and healthcare institutions, and the
health of our communities.
As the COVID-19 pandemic and global conflicts
continue to pose a threat to millions of infants
and young children, ILCA believes our innovation
is critical to providing knowledge, resources,
and tools while fostering the wide-reaching
connections for which we all long.
We know that everyone that attends our
Conference has very busy lives: juggling roles
in your communities, your home, your hospitals,
and your schools, and virtually. After ILCA's
incredibly successful online-only Conference
in 2020 and amazing hybrid Conference last
year, we recognized a virtual conference allows
participation that many people would miss
otherwise. This year's online-only Conference is
a great opportunity for all of our members and
supporters to connect to the big picture of what an
IBCLC can mean to families and the education ILCA
provides on an international scale.
To better serve our supporters around the world,
we are pleased to offer our Live Stream broadcast
and pre-recorded sessions in six languages and
proud to announce some of the sessions will be
presented in our speakers' language of choice.
This is a deliberate decision that will allow even
more leading lactation professionals from around
the world to provide the latest clinical studies,
current research, and case studies with those that
look to ILCA to be the global professional standard
of breastfeeding care.
ILCA remains dedicated to ensuring you can learn
in a space free from aggressive and misleading
tactics from companies that market formula and
related products. We hold speakers and vendors
firmly to their obligations to the International Code
of Marketing of Breast-milk substitutes and call on
other healthcare professional organizations to do
the same.
Our time together during the ILCA Conference this
year reflects the thoughtfulness and care of our
Board, staff, volunteers, members, and supporters
to bring together people from more than 70
countries.
We honor you and the time you have committed to
spending with us at our 36th Annual Conference.
Thank You,
Marcy Cottle,
Executive Director, ILCA
