Click on "NEWS Click Here" on upper left of IBLCE home page.>>>> ok, I found it and have seen it for myself, ...the IBLCE site info about the background of the new interim director outlines some very impressive experience, including <<....years of experience in U.S. and international food and nutrition programs. He has developed and managed international food assistance projects>>, that info may, to the very astute reader (not I) merely smell mildly fishy, ....but, what Rachel dug up stinks to high heaven! also, the absence of words or any wording directly related to breastfeeding or lactation could be considered a glaring red flag, so, what could be the reasonable rationale be for this choice, by whatever group made it? Also Rachel rightly points out that the IBLCE does need the expertise of someone experienced and savvy in the ways of Capitol Hill, ...the IBLCE may want to consider hiring a legislative consultant for that expertise. Wonder what Valerie M would be writing about this.
