Membership matters. It brings your voice to the table and supports the behind the scenes policy work that is essential to both our clients’ and our profession’s health.

In honor of the International Day of the Midwife, the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) is pleased to offer a special, limited-time opportunity to join or renew your membership.

From May 2 through May 5, all national annual memberships will automatically receive a 20% discount.

Whether you are joining for the first time, renewing your commitment, or returning after a lapse, this is an ideal moment to engage with a professional community dedicated to advancing midwifery practice, education, and policy. This offer is available to new, current, and expired members.

Please note that this promotion applies only to national memberships and does not extend to state affiliate memberships, subscriptions, or other purchases. Installment payment options will be temporarily unavailable during the flash sale period, and memberships purchased prior to May 2 are not eligible for retroactive adjustment.

ACNM membership provides access to essential clinical resources, continuing education, professional networking, and national advocacy efforts that elevate and protect midwifery practice. Your participation strengthens the collective voice of midwives and contributes directly to improving maternal and newborn health outcomes.

As you celebrate International Day of the Midwife, we also encourage you to explore global activities and recognition of the profession, as well as upcoming ACNM events throughout May.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact us at 240-485-1820 or membership@acnm.org.
We look forward to welcoming you or welcoming you back during this special time.

Sincerely,
ACNM Membership Team

Moderated by President Kaye Wise Whitehead, the panel features our executive director , historian Carol Anderson, and AAPF Senior Fellow . Together, they’ll break down what this moment demands and why “backtalking” to power is not optional, but necessary.

The moment is urgent. The stakes are real. The time to speak and act is now.
