Ah, but Nina -- you do not need to be an IBCLC to join ILCA.  Our only
requirement is that you concur with our mission and vision, which is
inclusive of mother-to-mother counselling:

"The International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA) is the
professional association for International Board Certified Lactation
Consultants (IBCLCs) and other health care professionals who care for
breastfeeding families.  Our vision is a worldwide network of lactation
professionals. Our mission is to advance the profession of lactation
consulting worldwide through leadership, advocacy, professional development,
and research."
My aside was meant to be a cheeky reminder that, as a sitting member of the
ILCA Board (which I also mentioned in the same post), I am a shameless
booster for ILCA.  I find the networking, access to research and clinical
training, and leadership development invaluable to my own professional
growth as an IBCLC.

People can certainly elect *not* to join my professional association, for
any number of reasons.
