| The Voice of the Family is highly advantageous for team success |
|
 In this email I want to highlight the role of the family member, preferably a mom who has experienced your services. Someone who has experienced the services and looks at our results and our work processes with us can provide valuable insight, perspective, and that 'aha!' light-bulb moment. That viewpoint can inform both the goals and the messages we use as we strive to support every mother to feed her baby. Input from fathers and other key persons in the mother's journey can also shape the work in positive ways.
Tara Bristol has provided a sample invitation letter and sample welcome letter for family members for you to personalize and use if you choose. Contact her here.
