Congratulations New IBCLCs!
Did you Certify or Recertify in 2019?
Let us know!
IBLCE does not share the names of new certificants with the professional organizations. Take a moment to let us know if you're recently IBCLC certified or recertified by emailing info@klicbreastfeeding.org. If you are a resident of Kentucky or Southern Indiana, we'd like to recognize your achievement.
Also, if you achieved another lactation certificate, such as CLC, CLS, or CLE, please let us know. These companies do not share the names of their graduates with us either.
Consider joining KLIC, your professional association! See the info above!

KLIC members attending exam review courses in preparation to re-certify as an IBCLC may be eligible for an education scholarship of up to $250 towards fees for such courses. More details can be found at the KLIC Members Only Page (you'll need to log in!)
