Dear Friends, A non-profit that I am associated with is considering advertising for our website and our newsletter. Unfortunately, our members are a huge target audience for several ABM manufacturers/marketers. I am trying to develop a policy for ads that would exclude them however, many of the parent members of our association do feed formula and one of our board members is in really well with one of the formula companies and wants to "help us" by getting funding for our group from his friends at the formula co. So in other words, I anticipate some resistance If anyone has dealt with something like this I would appreciate feedback. Also, I have seen a symbol used on a couple of websites that signifies that the site/organization/whatever does not accept money/ads from formula manufacturers. I would appreciate any info on this. This is really difficult because our association could really use the ad $ but because of this controversy in the past we have refused all ads. There are several products that our families could use and that are difficult to find that we would love to have advertised on our site/newsletter it comes down to why would they be ok and not the formula. I know the answer but trying to convince others who don't feel as passionate about breastfeeding as I do is something else. Thanks, Laura Barmby Maryland, USA <[log in to unmask]>
