... Secondly I wanted to post a question. There are only 8 of us IBCLC here 
in Spain, .... We thought about the possibility of getting organized 
as a group (Association of Spanish IBCLCs or something like that) so we 
could reach out and start letting other professionals and institutions 
know that we exist, and that there is a professional standard for 
breastfeeding knwoledge and practice. .... I wanted to know if any of you have experience doing this, if you think it is useful, if you think it is necessary or not necessary at all...


In reply to Kika:
You can obtain guidelines from the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA).  The website is www.ilca.org and has contact details. Many professional groups for IBCLCs round the world are affiliated with ILCA, including the one I'm a member of, the Queensland Lactation College.  If you are an ILCA member, you'll also be able to access the Members Only section of the website for additional information.
I hope this helps.
My best wishes for your plans to form a group.
