Thanks for the suggestions Rachael....I's a bit reluctant to name names (I
won't actually know who will be there until I show up), am I chicken??
Believe it or not I don't have a professional association to refer to and
although the university does have requirements it does not cover something
like this. It's not a breastfeeding conference (in fact there will not a
single talk on breastfeeding) and I will be speaking about adoption
(mentioning breastfeeding but only in a small section) so I don't feel that
I can make too big a deal of it, but yet I want to make a statement.
