Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence |
To celebrate this momentous milestone IBLCE would like to pay tribute to all IBCLCs world wide. In particular two of the very first IBCLCs who sat and passed their exam the first time it was offered in 1985. Sue Cox and Virginia Thorley have been pioneers in the lactation profession and continue to contribute so much to IBCLCs, health professionals as well as mothers, fathers and their families.
Congratulations and Thank you!
