Message from the President

Welcome to Midwifery Week 2007. From October 7-13 we have a great opportunity to educate others about our profession and our important role in women's health care.

Midwifery Week is a time to draw extra attention to your practice, ACNM and midwifery through a public education campaign. You can do that by hosting events, participating in community activities and getting the attention of your local media. This Web site will provide you with tools you need to get your Midwifery Week celebrations off to a good start. And don't forget to let us know how you celebrated; we're always inspired by your ideas and stories.

Thank you for helping make Midwifery Week 2007 a memorable one.

Kitty Ernst, CNM
ACNM President
