Chapter Leaders

Lindsay Preston, Leader

Lindsay became involved in ICAN after the cesarean birth of her first child in 2012 at the urging of a knowledgeable coworker. She became a co-leader of ICAN of Syracuse in 2014. She credits her involvement with the group to the safe space they hold for all mothers as well as the community of learning they create. Lindsay is eager to share what she has learned from attending many years of ICAN meetings, along with her own experience of planning and having a VBAC in 2015.

Stephanie Spitzer-Hanks, Leader

Stephanie joined our chapter as a leader in January of 2026. She is a parent to two children, a birth educator, and a birth advocate. She has been supporting new and expecting parents for 15 years, and she believes birth education can give parents the tools to powerfully advocate for themselves in birth and beyond.

Jillian VanNostrand, Leader

Rosmyn Squitieri, Treasurer
