Great speaker...Robbie Gonzalez-Dow....
There are 2 orgs that are managing the CBR: California WIC Association (CWA) and the California Breastfeeding Coalition (CBC). CWA represents 82 agencies throughout CA and the CBC represents the 41 local coalition throughout the state..we even have a new logo for the CBR.
CWA has been partnering with other agencies that are working on policy changes; gained allies such as the Labor Commissioner and national coalitions such as the USBC. Laurie from CWA goes to DC next week!
The CBC has a diverse membership of local and state coalitions that has so many great backgrounds rolled into one with grassroots support with legislation! Thank you followers! We all worked so hard on this as well as employer awards, walks, and other outreach efforts....you all work so hard for this! We work hand in hand with the MCH Department and the USBC; we represent the Western Region for this through Karen Peters.
(we have a sheet with all these acronyms remember that!) Several of our board members are part of the Birth and Beyond California Program, providing training to our lowest hospitals in CA....also working with the Business Case for Breastfeeding
