However, under my name and Dr. McKenna's name (this year) is a statement
making clear that we are NOT being sponsored by Mead-Johnson (or whatever
the formula company is that does this sort of thing year after year). This
sensitivity was the result of years of hard behind-the-scenes slogging of
Angela Jacobi, an LC, and a couple of other people on their planning
committee. It is now pretty much routine. >>
I spoke there two years ago, and it was noted on the program AND on the sign
outside the room where I was speaking, as it was for the other speaker(s) on
breastfeeding. I was impressed by the amount of trouble they went to to make
sure the entire galaxy of attenders KNEW that our honorarium/expenses were NOT
being paid by, in this case, Mead Johnson.
