I am an RN, Have been for more than 30 years. I started my breastfeeding career with my youngest, now 23. We were active in LLL and I am still a Leader Reserve. I took my LC education at the Lactation Institute and took the first offered IBCLC exam. I served on the first BOD of ILCA established that very same year. After my BOD term I was on the conference committee for 7 years. I am currently working as a Case Manager/Lactation for Kaiser Hosp in Bellflower, a small city near Los Angeles in So. Calif. I direct a large Lactation program at a Medical center with over 500 deliveries a month and a breastfeeding rate of approx. 75 + %. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren and keep very busy with hobbies and computer classes. I am looking foreward to being active in the group. Kathy Warmbier
