Leader Department

The Leader Department provides support and information to Area Leaders to help them as they support breastfeeding families.

The Area does not currently have a Leader serving in this role. Justine Hirsch is the LLL Alliance Leader Dept. person covering on an interim basis. She can be reached at justinekhirsch@gmail.com.You can also contact former ACL Paula Manley with any questions you have at paula.navin.manley@gmail.com or by phone/text to (781) 336-9680.

The ACL offers Leaders encouragement, recognition, and enrichment, and acts as the link between La Leche League LLLI, LLL Alliance, and the Area’s Leaders. Overseeing Area policy and procedures, providing Leader support, and information-sharing are among the ACL’s responsibilities.

If you are interested in exploring the role of Area Coordinator of Leaders, contact Justine or any member of the Area Team.
