Leader Dues
Leaders on the LLL of MA/RI/VT Area roster are required to pay individual Leader dues annually. In doing so, they recommit to the following: LLLI Mission Statement, LLLI Statement of Commitment, LLLI Inclusivity Statement and the LLL of MA/RI/VT Area Agreement.

Leader dues may be paid by either a Leader or her Group. Leader dues are a legitimate Group expense. By paying Leader dues, an individual Leader agrees she is affiliated with the LLL of MA/RI/VT Area and agrees to LLL of MA/RI/VT Area Agreement. If the Group pays the Leader’s dues, the Leader has agreed that she is affiliated with the Group and LLL of MA/RI/VT Area Agreementthe LLL of MA/RI/VT Area. Your Leader dues are tax-deductible, if paid by you.
By paying Leader dues each Leader agrees to:
The LLLI Mission statement: To help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother.
The LLL Leader Statement of Commitment: I am personally committed to furthering the mission of LLL and to supporting breastfeeding as presented in The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and other LLLI publications. I understand and agree that in using the designation “La Leche League Leader,” and in representing La Leche League, I will comply with the most recently published version of the La Leche League Policies and Standing Rules as posted on the LLLI website. I will resign from this position if for any reason I find that I can no longer represent La Leche League in accordance with this agreement, and I will discontinue use of the designation “La Leche League Leader.”
Area Agreement: I further agree that I am affiliated with the Area LLL of MA/RI/VT and agree to the LLL of MA/RI/VT Area Leader Agreement (review the Leader Agreement) and all related policies of LLL Alliance and LLLI, including the LLLI Inclusivity Statement. If the Group is paying my Leader dues, I agree that I am affiliated with the Group and the Area LLL of MA/RI/VT. If the Group pays the Leader’s dues, the Leader has agreed that she is affiliated with the Group and the Area LLL of MA/RI/VT.
