The NBCC brings together a diverse set of clinical, community, advocacy, and research professionals who recognize the public health importance of breastfeeding as critical for reducing the burden of infant morbidity and mortality, childhood and adolescent overweight, obesity, and chronic disease, and maternal type 2 diabetes and maternal breast and ovarian cancers. The convening is designed to develop and strengthen the leadership capacity of the public health workforce, including representatives from direct service organizations, breastfeeding coalitions, hospitals and healthcare facilities, health departments, research institutions, and federal agencies to effectively protect, promote, and support breastfeeding at the national, state, local, and community levels.

This virtual event is designed with your professional development in mind. We’ll be featuring a variety of can’t-miss sessions that explore new communication tools, strategies and techniques; the latest trends in evaluation; and the path forward in fruit and vegetable consumption. Each day will be anchored by valuable federal update sessions from MCHB, CDC-DNPAO and USDA. You’ll also learn about the history of ASPHN and what’s on the horizon as it continues to build leaders in public health nutrition. Best of all, you’ll enjoy multiple opportunities to share and learn from one another, as well as build valuable connections through the virtual meeting lounge.

Mom Congress is both a movement and a moment, advocating for supportive motherhood in the U.S.

Join us for the Mom Congress “Moment” this September in DC. This convening brings mothers and other advocates together to learn, receive issue and advocacy training, be inspired by influential leaders, connect with others, and advocate for change on Capitol Hill. Since its inaugural event in DC in 2017, the Mom Congress “moment” has grown to a robust three-day training, networking, and advocacy event, uniting mothers and those who support them, from around the country to raise awareness and advocate for policies that will lift all moms. This membership organization is addressing the most pressing policy issues of motherhood including what we call the “motherload” (the stress that U.S. mothers carry, at higher rates than other developed countries).
