Mothers' Milk Bank California Strengthens Leadership with Three New Board Members

Mothers' Milk Bank California (MMBCA), a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to providing screened donor human milk to infants in need, has announced the addition of three community leaders to its Board of Directors. This strategic move is set to bolster the organization's efforts in ensuring vulnerable infants have access to life-saving nutrition.

The new board members, Kristin, Peter Bailinson, and Lauren Morgan, bring a wealth of experience from various sectors including nonprofit management, entrepreneurship, and program operations. Their diverse backgrounds are expected to contribute significantly to MMBCA's mission and operational effectiveness.

Katie Anderson, Board Chair of MMBCA, expressed enthusiasm about the new appointments, stating, "Their diverse backgrounds and shared dedication to supporting vulnerable infants will strengthen our efforts to provide life-saving donor human milk to those who need it most." This expansion of the board underscores MMBCA's commitment to enhancing its capabilities in addressing the critical need for donor human milk.

The appointment of these new board members is particularly significant given MMBCA's role as a founding member of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA). As an organization that has helped set standards for nonprofit milk banks across North America, MMBCA's leadership decisions have far-reaching implications for the field of infant nutrition and care.

This development comes at a time when the importance of human milk for infant health is increasingly recognized. By strengthening its leadership, MMBCA is positioning itself to better address the challenges in collecting, processing, and distributing donor human milk to hospitals and families. The diverse expertise of the new board members is expected to contribute to innovative approaches in scaling the organization's impact and improving access to this vital resource for vulnerable infants.

As MMBCA celebrates its 50th anniversary, these new appointments signal a renewed commitment to its mission. The organization's efforts in providing essential nutrition to infants in need continue to play a crucial role in advancing neonatal care and supporting families across California and beyond.
