We* know the the IBLCE competancies, standards of care, continuing edand recertification requirements are stringent and responsible, and*could* satisfy the Dept of Consumer Affairs (licensing bod). Why hasthe IBCLC profession, in it's 24th year now, not figured out how to makethis a reality? What are IBLCE (and perhaps ILCA) waiting for?>>

**********************************************************************

Because the "I" in both ILCA and IBLCE stands for "INTERNATIONAL" and this is a NATIONAL USA only issue. USLCA has only been around just over 2 years. That is the body that is to work on this. Why should IBLCE care? They are a certifying agency, not a licensing agency. And less than half of their certificants each year now come from the US.
