NEW! CMEs for Coalition Meetings!
The SDCBC is pleased to announce that CMEs (and therefore nursing continuing education credits) will be available for the first hour of each general Coalition meeting starting in September 2004. Children's Hospital is the generous sponsor for these CMEs. CMEs will be FREE to Coalition members and representatives of organizational Coalition members. A minimal fee of $10.00 for 1 hour of CME credit will be charged for those who are not SDCBC members who wish CME credit. The first hour of each general Coalition meeting will be devoted to education, and the second hour to Coalition business, planning and networking.
Volunteer Opportunities: If you want to join a motivated group and are interested in joining an active committee, the SDCBC needs you! Please contact the SDCBC office at (858) 966-5981 or email sdcbc@breastfeeding.org for more info.
