Joint Statement regarding the 2014 Lactation Summit A historic day occurred on July 27, 2014, when the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners®, International Lactation Consultant Association®, and Lactation Education Accreditation and Approval Review Committee joined together to host the 2014 Lactation Summit, Addressing Inequities within the Lactation Profession, in Phoenix, Arizona. We are profoundly grateful to those who came from around the world speaking in support of the underrepresented voices by courageously sharing their own truths. We also recognize the organizations and individuals who came to hear and honor these stories, and appreciate the respect and professionalism shown. This summit was an important first step, and there is more to hear, to learn, and to do. We are deeply committed to continuing this conversation and dismantling the barriers that prevent access to the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant® profession worldwide as we work together for equitable solutions. We call on all of our constituents and partners to join us in this important work. Sincerely, International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners® International Lactation Consultant Association® Lactation Education Accreditation and Approval Review Committee

Clarity Needed on the Future of JHL Dear Editor, I am concerned that the separation of United States Lactation Consultant Association (USLCA) from International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA) will negatively impact the future of the Journal of Human Lactation (JHL). In all member surveys, JHL has been identified as the most valued asset of ILCA membership. What will happen to our journal if the dues of the US membership are no longer available to help support it? Neither USLCA nor ILCA adequately addressed this issue at the meetings at the recent ILCA conference in Phoenix, nor did I hear of any contingency plans to financially support JHL if USLCA members decline to write membership checks to ILCA. Lactation science is barely out of its infancy. Evidencebased best practices have not been well established for many of the problems that lactation consultants must manage. JHL has matured into a journal we can all be proud of and publishes papers we need, both to expand our credibility as a profession and to establish the “bench” science required to establish those best practices. I charge USLCA and ILCA to come up with a plan to protect JHL. I also charge them to be transparent about it.
