Membership Advisory Council Kickoff Webinar

YOUR voice is critical to the Midwives Alliance future programs, advocacy, and policies. The new Membership Advisory Council (MAC) was designed to ensure member input is woven into every aspect of our work. Born out of member feedback at the most recent MANA gatherings, the MAC creates a clear system of member communication and representation at the Midwives Alliance. Learn more at our upcoming MAC webinar on Thursday, April 7, at 3:00 pm EST. Watch here and in your inbox for details.

Meet the MANA Division of Research

The Midwives Alliance Division of Research (DOR) is a volunteer group comprised of clinicians, academics, research and policy experts, and database developers. Together they work to increase knowledge about midwifery care and help midwives become more fluent in conducting research, critically appraising the available data, and incorporating the best available research findings into their practice. Learn more about the members of the DOR and their roles in this week's blog post.
