Strategic Initiatives
Credentialing Advancement & Growth: Ensure long-term sustainability of the global mission by monitoring the IBCLC uptake and primarily focusing our efforts and resources in language groups/areas where utilisation of the credential can best sustain the foundation of the mission, and secondarily (when resources are available) identify potential new/revitalised opportunities that promote further accessibility for the benefit of credentialing growth.
Credentialing Products & Services (Content & Quality): Ensure we continue to support the provision of high-quality, relevant, standards-driven, and accessible credentialing programmes that align with, and sustain, our mission.
People & Operational Excellence: Provide policies, structures, and processes, leveraging innovative best practices, which contribute to highly motivated and engaged Board, volunteers, and staff.
Fiscal Health & Sustainability: Continue to grow and maintain IBLCE’s financial health and sustainability, enabling advancement of our mission and goals.
