CEUs and Program Policies

Continuing Education Credits (CEUs)
        This continuing education activity is being submitted for approval to the Missouri Nurses Association (MONA), an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credential Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCCA). It is also being submitted for L-CERPs (Lactation related Continuing Education Recognition Points) awarded by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE).

        The program has also been approved by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) for up to 30 L-CERPs (Lactation related Continuing Education Recognition Points.)

Policy Regarding Babies and Children Attending the Conference
        While the Breastfeeding Educator Program™ Committee supports mothers breastfeeding their babies and children, and mothers are welcome to breastfeed anywhere in the conference area, feedback from previous program participants and the intensity of the program format have made it necessary to request a helper to accompany mothers and infants older than 6 months. A quiet room/area (that can also be used for expressing breastmilk) is usually available. (Check with specific program registration coordinator.) Mothers and noisy infants may be asked to leave the conference presentation at the discretion of the program committee.

Limited Registration
        The program accepts a limited number of registrants. If registering within two weeks of the program, please call or e-mail the sponsoring organization to determine if registration is still open.

Confirmation
        Sponsoring agencies will mail a confirmation notice with map/travel directions. If you have not received written confirmation within two weeks of the scheduled program, please contact the sponsoring agency.

Hotel Accommodations
        Sponsoring organizations make arrangements for conference room rates with a local hotel. Contact the specific sponsoring organization for the conference hotel telephone number.

Conference Comfort
        To accommodate temperature variation in meeting rooms please bring a sweater or jacket. Climate control will be adjusted to the group's preference.

Schedule Alterations
        No alternations to the conference faculty or schedule are anticipated, but the program sponsors reserve the right to make changes if necessary. The sponsoring organizations are not responsible for registrants' airline or hotel expenses in the event of a schedule change. The morning start and evening finish times, as well as the luncheon breaks are strictly adhered to each day. The breaks between sessions are somewhat flexible.
