US Breastfeeding Committee facilitates successful breastfeeding coalitions conference, continued

The third National Conference of State/Territory/Tribal Breastfeeding Coalitions was held January 23-25, 2010 in Washington, DC. This approach to grassroots leadership education is the only event of its kind in the breastfeeding field.

The United States Breastfeeding Committee has taken the initiative of presenting a conference every two years designed to enhance the leadership capacity of the states in developing initiatives to promote breastfeeding. This approach to grassroots leadership education is the only event of its kind in the breastfeeding field. Both new and experienced state breastfeeding coalition leaders are drawn to this event because they know they will learn from the best experts of all—their peers—as well as from nationally recognized experts in the fields of communication. The NCSBC brings together coalition leaders from every U.S. state and territory—including representatives from relevant government departments, nongovernmental organizations, and health professional associations. The conference provides them with an opportunity to further their knowledge and hone skills necessary to more effectively build and manage coalitions within their states.
