Board Members Openings
The San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation is looking for two dynamic and creative persons, who are passionate about resolving inequities in chest/breastfeeding support, to join our board of directors for a 2-year term. This is a volunteer position.
San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation mission:
To reduce socioeconomic and racial disparities in chest/breastfeeding support by increasing access to qualified lactation consultants for marginalized groups, such as people of color and low-income families.
The organization is on a clear path for growth and expansion and has developed a 3-year strategic plan to scale their impact. The goals are to (1) increase representation of lactation consultants and clinicians in the lactation field, (2) meet the need of the community through low-barrier direct care and (3) expand access to lactation support around San Diego County by reducing or eliminating chest/breastfeeding deserts.
