OK lactnetters I have a problem for us to help a friend of mine with,

One of our coalition members has run up against a real road block.  She is an
office nurse in our local Peds clinic.  This clinic is run by a medical
corporation that blatently gives out ABM to clients.  The Peds are great guys
who are fairly supportive of BF but deep down think it doesn't really matter.
 We're working on them.  Now for the problem.
 The clinic will be participating in our local baby fair and of course the
clinic always have cases of formula available to give out.  My friend wants
to nix this but she's getting no where.  She wants a plan, I'm going to give
her the handout on making your hospital Baby Friendly and I will back her up
fully but, what would you do?  She needs her job and has been a real blessing
for all breastfeeding mothers at this clinic.  Any suggestions?
