Started in 1987 after the first IBCLC exam. The founders were: Sandy Stayanoff, Amy Spangler, Sharon Birdseye, and Kim Bugg. Sandy was the first president, but had to step down at which time Sharon became president. Amy and Sharon wrote the first bylaws and the focus of SELCA was on education. Lunch and Learns were offered and then conferences were started.

At first, SELCA drew in attendees and members by word of mouth, then mailings. The states surrounding Georgia were often represented at meetings. Some offerings were held in Birmingham with Glenda Dickerson organizing, but mainly the meetings were in Georgia.

SELCA's membership has included: Dawn Houston, the highest scoring IBCLC in 1996, Melissa Vickers the current USLCA newsletter editor, Ann Calandro (first SELCA newsletter editor) ILCA representative, Amy Spangler past ILCA president and Glenda Dickerson current USLCA president.
