The purpose of the Each One Reach One Campaign is to increase membership. The goal is for each member to share the benefits of belonging with other colleagues. Course directors and individual members are both encouraged to participate.

In 2008, we had over 200 people indicate who introduced them to ILCA--and many people introduced more than one person to ILCA.  We had several individuals who introduced three people to ILCA, but not one introduced the minimum of five new people.  We did have a winner in the Course Director category, and that person introduced 35 new people to ILCA.

Winner of the 2008 Each One Reach One Membership Campaign:

• Course Director category: Gini Baker, California, USA

The individual member generating the most new ILCA memberships (minimum 5) will receive one International main ILCA conference registration for 2009. The course director generating the most new ILCA memberships (minimum 25) will receive one International main conference registration for 2009.

The program runs from July 1 through June 30 each year, which means we are only one month into the program.  There is still plenty of time to earn your conference registration for 2009 in San Antonio by downloading the ILCA membership application, entering your name on the line "Who Introduced You to ILCA?" and handing it to a friend or colleague who is interested in promoting or supporting breastfeeding worldwide.

Please make sure that your name is listed on the membership brochure under the section "Who introduced you to ILCA?" since that is the only way you get credit.

If the person chooses to join online, rather than with a paper application, they can go in after their membership is activated, and enter your name as the person who introduced them to ILCA.  We send an email reminder to all those who join online, but be sure to encourage your new members to go in and enter your name--it only takes a few seconds!

Remember, ILCA is YOU!
