2020 NCLCA Breastfeeding Summit: Making Connections with Changing Tides (Livestream)

Our world has drastically changed, but families still need us now more than ever! We are thrilled to welcome each of you to our Annual Summit meeting! This is our opportunity to learn and have fun together, some for the first time, and some as old friends. We know that breastfeeding promotion happens at multiple levels, from working directly with the breastfeeding dyad, to supporting their families, strengthening our profession, healing communities, and finally, advocating for policy changes. At the Annual Summit we will talk about each of those levels.

Our work at each level is interdependent, and we hope you will leave this Summit with skills, knowledge, and support that you need to effectively serve the families of North Carolina.
