The International Cesarean Awareness Network is powered by the selfless efforts of our numerous volunteers. We cannot thank our dedicated volunteers enough for their cooperation and service in assisting ICAN with accomplishing its mission.
In an effort to acknowledge some of our amazing volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to offer support, education, and advocacy for the mothers in their area, the International Cesarean Awareness Network is pleased to announce Elizabeth Quinn as the August 2016 Volunteer of the Month.
Elizabeth Quinn, this month’s honoree, is a dedicated volunteer out of ICAN of Jackson, MS. Elizabeth is a champion for VBAC advocacy. She has shared her stories on the Birth Hour podcasts, on several Facebook groups and with anyone who’ll listen. Her stories bring awareness, and empowerment, and she is proud to educate women on their rights and choices in childbirth. She has helped with meetings and at tables at community events. Many women have benefitted from her openness and knowledge. She just had her second VBA2C!

Tell us about being a volunteer with ICAN!
I have been a member of ICAN for about 4 years. A friend added me to the Facebook group then told me she did. I want every woman to feel the joy you get when you know your options, feel supported, and make the best decision for your birth. I let others control my first two births and felt very powerless- I wish every mama could feel as respected and supported as I did during my 2 vba2c births.
What was your proudest moment as an ICAN volunteer? What about your hardest?
We appreciate you so much, Elizabeth! Thank you for all that you do to support birthing women!
