The Boston Association for Childbirth Education (BACE) was founded in 1953 and is one of the oldest consumer-oriented childbirth organizations in the country. We are a group of parents and professionals whose goal is to provide childbirth and breastfeeding education for families and those who support them. BACE offers childbirth educator certification (BCCE) and advanced childbirth training workshops (current workshops ). We train educators in an integrated and individualized approach that ensures childbearing families have the skills, information and support they need. In addition, BACE provides referrals to qualified childbirth educators and other perinatal services and care providers in the area. The Nursing Mothers' Council (NMC) was founded as an integral part of BACE in 1962. Its primary mission is to offer support and information to women who wish to breastfeed their babies. NMC trains lay counselors in breastfeeding management and counseling skills ( current workshops ) and publishes a list of counselors that is distributed to area hospitals and healthcare providers. Anyone who wishes to speak to a counselor, free of charge, can refer to the list or call our office for a referral. NMC also provides advanced training for lactation professionals and for those preparing to take the certifying exam given by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners ( IBLCE ). BACE is a non-profit organization that is supported solely by membership dues, contributions, income from professional trainings and revenue from the sale and rental of breastfeeding aids. Most of the work of the organization is done on a volunteer basis. BACE is governed by a board of directors made up of members who represent both the childbirth education and breastfeeding programs. The board meets bimonthly from September to May and has an annual meeting in June.

The National Transportation & Logistics Association (NTLA) is a representative organization of thought leaders focused on the last mile sector of the scheduled transportation industry. The NTLA is comprised of last miles couriers, shippers and suppliers to the constituents along the supply chain. Since 1990, the unprecedented outsourcing of private endpoint delivery networks by processors, wholesalers, distributors, and other sectors of corporate America has enabled the traditional messenger & courier industry to assume a critical role in the "last mile" of the business-to-business supply chain. Local presence, a willingness to create dedicated networks with customized schedules at a superior price point, and an emphasis on "same day" pick-up or delivery have been key attributes to enabling this little known piece of the transportation industry to carve out a high volume segment from larger, better known ground alternatives. The NTLA has committed to make the investment, build the programs necessary to establish meaningful standards, and document compliance for the last mile industry. To prepare for this new direction, the NTLA has established a Board of Directors and formed a Shippers Advisory Council. This shift moves NTLA closer to realizing a couple of objectives; ensuring alignment with the needs of the shippers, fostering an environment of inclusiveness and providing a platform for encouraging connections. NTLA programs naturally connect shippers, national carriers, regional/local carriers, and key resources in technology, insurance, risk management, and driver administration services.

The United Council on Welfare Fraud (UCOWF) is an organization of investigators, administrators, prosecutors, eligibility workers, and claims writers from local, state and federal agencies from the United States and Canada who have combined their efforts to fight fraud, waste, and abuse in social service programs. It is organized and operates under a strict set of By-Laws created during UCOWF's establishment and implemented a Code of Ethics for all members. For more than 30 years members of the United Council on Welfare Fraud have been active in preventing, detecting, eliminating and prosecuting welfare fraud in its many forms. UCOWF members have been instrumental in the recovery of taxpayer monies lost through waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs designed to aid the needy. UCOWF's membership currently consists of welfare investigators, administrators, and recovery specialists, as well as fraud prosecutors from 47 states, the District of Columbia and 7 Canadian provinces, establishing a professional network from Hawaii to Newfoundland. The primary purpose of our organization has always been the promotion of effective and efficient administration of public welfare. As the direction and manner of providing assistance to the needy have changed over the years, our members have consistently been the first to encounter and address the program integrity aspects inherent in those changes; for despite how well-intentioned and generous a program may be in aiding people truly in need, there will always be those who will try to capitalize on opportunities and cheat the system. Our active, experienced, and diverse membership provides a wealth of knowledge, information, and support for the professional fraud investigator. We maintain a large library of training resources which are available to our members for career enhancement and professional growth. In addition, we sponsor the most widely recognized certification program for welfare fraud investigators in North America. As our membership grows and UCOWF moves confidently into the 21st century, we are committed to assisting our members with their professional advancement by providing desirable and effective training programs and self-study resources. We are equally committed to assisting the public through the continued vigilance of the Public Assistance program administration and promoting assistance progam policies that advocate the vigorous prosecution of those attempting to defraud our society.
CWQA provides close contact with federal regulatory and legislative officials. We not only warn of impending legislation, we act before laws are passed. We represent the industry before regulatory agencies such as Health Canada, Industry Canada and provincial ministries, such as Environment, Health and Consumer and Commercial Relations. The association provides a role in educating consumers on quality water. The CWQA staff daily answer consumer questions. In addition, educational brochures and pamphlets are sent to them advising of various treatment methods available to solve specific water problems. As well, CWQA's public relations activities help to increase the awareness of the water treatment options, making consumers open to a source of generic product information. Millions of Canadian households suffer some kind of correctable water problem. Hard water alone is found in 85% of Canadian homes, according to government sources. Other common water problems include excess iron, hydrogen sulphide gas ("rotten egg smell"), acidity and cloudy water. Each of these problems can bring its own unpleasant effect into homes. Rusting and corroded pipes, clothing stains, bad tasting water and higher water heating bills are just a few of the possible results of problem water, which can affect the quality of life. Many concerned people don't realize that each of these problems can be solved at the point-of-use or point-of-entry. Point-of-use (POU) refers to water quality improvement equipment installed to provide water to a single or several faucets, usually for drinking and cooking. Point-of-entry (POE), sometimes called 'Whole house" treatment, refers to water quality improvement equipment installed where the water enters the home or business, such as water softeners and whole house filters. Today, there are more options than ever to choose from making it possible to obtain the quality of water desired. Future articles will help identify common water complaints and make an informed decision on possible solutions. Some of the problems to be discussed will include water hardness, iron, taste/odour and turbidity, hydrogen sulphide, nitrates, alkalinity, chlorides and sulphates, bacteria and more.
