Moving Forward

The ICEA Board of Directors defines how moving our headquarters from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Raleigh, North Carolina “moves” the International Childbirth Education Association forward. Although making the decision to leave Minneapolis was difficult, especially after our long and valuable relationships with the community and the employees, relocating in North Carolina is a move to foster the continued growth of ICEA for years to come.
