Hi Nancy--

Your response was inaccurate.

My calendar might be wrong, but September 19, 2006 is a Tuesday and the
following three days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
And Niagara Falls is a difficult trip and not a spot to spend five days.

You are correct, last yearıs ABM meeting was held on a weekend.

How many annual meetings have there been?  I cannot find the dates and days
of any others.



The LLLI  seminar was Thursday-Friday in 2005 and mid-week this year.

In 2004 it was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

2003, it was Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

2002  Thursday, Friday, Saturday (a little better, btw)
http://www.lalecheleague.org/ed/PhysSem02.html

2001, the same
http://www.lalecheleague.org/ed/29th.html

Et cetera 

Maybe it is just the impression of exclusion and the feeling that there is
not enough effort to include private practice pediatricians in these
proceedings.  Have you looked at the attendance rosters to sort out how many
hospital-based doctors attend these conferences vs. the number of peds in
private practice?

BTW, I have received a pleasantly positive response from LLLI and from the
list.

Maybe it is just that I am annoyed that I cannot attend either meeting this
year although I will be in SD for one day and my new associate and IBCLC
will be there for the whole meeting.

XOX, as usual, anyway,

Jay

_____________________________

This is absolutely NOT true.  The ABM meeting has always been Fri-Sat-Sun
with the basic breastfeeding course Thurs.  More than half of the leadership
of ABM are clinical MDs, as are most of the membership.  Most of us take
vacation time to attend the meetings.
 
The LLLI meeting was done, for the first time, "mid-week" this year purely
for hotel rates reasons.
