NILCA Educational Meetings are held 5 times per year. Keep your knowledge up-to-date regarding breastfeeding and peripartum support, and network with other professionals in the field.
Up to 7.5 hrs per year of CERPs may be available for NILCA Members who attend meetings. Please note, we do not provide CERPs for attended meetings unless membership dues are up-to-date.
All meetings are free and open to members of the public to attend. Lap babies are also welcome at in-person meetings. Meetings held online will not be recorded for future viewing.
