The CDC Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity and the United States Breastfeeding Committee co-host a series of Bi-Monthly State Breastfeeding Coalitions Teleconferences. The teleconferences are held every two months (in even numbered months) on the second Tuesday of the month from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET.
The teleconferences bring together state/territory/tribal breastfeeding coalitions to share best practices and news and to network and collaborate on issues of national significance. Each state/territory/tribal coalition is provided with one line to dial in to the national teleconference. Each coalition has an assigned proctor who coordinates participation at a central meeting location or by conferencing in calls from around the state, in order to maximize the number of coalition members that can participate.
Please contact your coalition to learn how participation is arranged in your state, territory, or Indian Tribal Organization. The topics and presentation materials from all past teleconferences are archived in this section.
To request a recording of a past teleconference, please use the Tape Request Form.
