ILCA is the professional association for lactation consultants (and other 
promoters of BF).

IBLCE is the separate and distinct organization that runs the exam we all 
take in order to call ourselves "I-B-C-L-C."  IBCLE has announced publicly 
its plan to investigate creation of a "second level credential."

The ILCA Board of Directors opposes the creation of such a second credential 
by IBLCE, and stated as much in motion passed at the March 2006 Board 
meeting.  A forum to discuss this issue was held at the ILCA conference this 
month. Those who did not attend the conference may still offer their 
thoughts, via the ILCA Discussion Board thread about the second credential, 
on the members' only side of www.ilca.org.
