History

GA America was founded as NOCIRC by Marilyn Milos in 1985.

"In 1989, NOCIRC sponsored the First International Symposium on Circumcision (ISC), which was held in Anaheim, California."[1]

"In its first decade, NOCIRC grew into an international network and now has more than 110 centers worldwide."[2]

"Since NOCIRC is no longer sponsoring NOCIRC Centers, Jen Williams has invited hosts of NOCIRC Centers to join her organization, Your Whole Baby, so folks can continue to have educational booths locally."[3]
