The Lactation Lounge is next week. Have you already reserved your spot?

Lactation Lounge is a newer member benefit, and many people don't yet know about it.

Lactation Lounge is a community initiative designed to help USLCA members like you connect in a live and unrecorded conversation. Each session is hosted by Nicole Longmire, IBCLC, PMH-C, USLCA's Professional Development Coordinator.

This quarter's theme is Lactation Leadership. This month's prompt: What does integrity look like in messy, real-world situations?

Because integrity in lactation care isn't just about evidence-based practice. It's about what you do when no one's grading you, when it's easier to stay quiet, when the honest answer costs you something, or when your ego wants the last word.

Spots are limited. Reserve yours here: https://uslca.org/uslca-event-calendar/ #!event/2026/5/27/lactation-lounge
