It's been a very busy several weeks. I've been calling every work/family, women's, mother/father rights, and child development and well-being group I can find to try to establish partnerships and/or find potential funders to keep this work going. I have a number of great prospects and have been getting a very positive reaction from nearly everyone I've talked with. Nothing concrete yet but lots of great possibilities.
I also finally discovered a very reputable, nationwide insurance company that is interested in potentially setting up a liability policy specifically for babies-at-work programs--detailed discussions should start this week or next if all goes well.
I'm exhibiting tomorrow at the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition's Annual Conference to disseminate information about our work--should be a very productive day (although I'm not looking forward to getting up at 4:30 a.m. to get there on time--Boston traffic is crazy).
I'm working on a script for a short YouTube video to attract attention to our work and to explain and illustrate the basics of these programs. Given comments to recent major blogs (by other people) about these programs, it's clear that many people still haven't even heard of these programs, much less understand how feasible they are for many organizations. I hope to get a video done and online by the end of this week.
