| "Deep within every woman is the ability to birth. When she has the confidence in her own abilities, the encouragement and freedom to tap into her innate wisdom, and has the loving support of family, friends, and professionals who believe this too, she will truly have a satisfying birth experience."

| A Message from Outgoing President Nancy Manix... Good news! CEAOC will not be disbanding! Fortunately, we had enough interest in the board that we were able to fill all positions required and the CEAOC Executive Board has plans to move forward with a transition year for these new members. CEAOC will not be hosting a conference this year, but will look forward to providing a continuing education opportunity in 2011. It has been my great pleasure and honor to serve CEAOC as President for the past three years. While I will be handing over the presidential responsibilities to Becky Ward during this upcoming year of transition, I will not be leaving CEAOC completely. I will continue to help with conference marketing and execution. I appreciate and thank each member and conference attendee for your support and encouragement during my term as President, and for your ongoing service to the Childbirth Community. Every one of you is a wonderful asset and resource for the CEAOC organization. Keep up the good work you do in promoting freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives, and supporting child-bearing families in Orange County. Warm Regards, Nancy Manix, MPT, LCCE, IBCLC |
