been arranged for 2022 by Louisa and Sharon.
Presidents report: The employment of Fleur as a virtual administrator has been very helpful in this challenging year. The update of the website has been beneficial for the committee and members. Leanne and Louisa have discussed
asking Fleur to do a spreadsheet or aGoogle drive document so that tasks can be allocated in the lead up to the conference and meetings to reduce workload for all.

Julie has stood down as Website and membership Secretary after many years of involvement in CLCWA. Julie will be sorely missed and all in the committee wish her all the best in the future.

Presidents Report
Louisa outlined the purpose of the College was to provide education for Lactation Consultants, to network and have some fun. This was achieved in the last year by monthly meetings in different formats, face to face, zoom and hybrid. We also hosted a successful a successful conference on the 11th November. Despite our best efforts to have all speakers face to face we had to resort to zoom for Professors Lars Bode
