Lamaze International is 60 years old this year and Linda Harmon has been at the helm of this remarkable organization for half of that time!

On Sunday, September 20, 2020, Lamaze International will officially turn 60 years old. Sixty years ago, on that exact day the organization was officially incorporated. Today we are still going strong, advocating for safe and healthy birth, helping families feel strong and informed with evidence based information, Supporting educators to be the best they can be as they work with families, leaning in to fight racial inequities and the horrific impact they have on Black, Indigenous and People of Color families and collaborating with global agencies, governments and corporations to improve the experience of growing families.
