Possible Southeast Regional Conference in August 201

 In Memphis we are considering moving our typical WBW first Wednesday Breastfeeding Update to later in the month (now World Breastfeeding Month), in the hopes of attracting both a more regional audience as well as nationally renown speakers to our city – the epicenter both statistically and geographically of poverty, high infant mortality and obesity, and low breastfeeding rates. 

 What will help us as we move forward is to know this:

 If we are able to pull off such a regional event with nationally recognized speakers, will you try to send some of your staff and attend  yourselves? 

 Please respond to my email at julieware2@bellsouth.net with your thoughts.

 Thanks in advance for your consideration!
