I would gladly speak off-line on this topic, as a Leader since 1975 - and still considered an "active" Leader with a group that meets at our WIC office. However, just as with any organization - we all have a right to agree or disagree with the choices the leaders of the organization made during the 50 years of existence. For my part, I am grateful every day for that first phone call I made to the St. Louis Leader who provided what I needed to learn not only about breastfeeding - but also about being a mother and led me to totally adopt the philosophy of family first at a time when women were being told they could have it all!
