Hi Naomi.  At least in our local chapter - central NJ - the core group is 
very pro breastfeeding.  In fact when I pointed out that there was a woman 
bottle feeding in their brochure (it was kind of out of the way and hard to 
see) they were appalled.  One of the women, Marge D'Agastino is an IBCLC and 
very pro breastfeeding.  She, however, has moved to Delaware but there are 
many IBCLCs that meet at that particular location; not sure if that applies 
to the entity as a whole
