Midwifery is so much more than clinical care. It's about advocacy, education, research, community, and creating the future of healthcare. In this illuminating conversation with ACNM Vice President Dr. Alexis "Lexi" Dunn-Amore and CEO Dr. Michelle Monroe, we explore the heart and soul of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and why every midwife—from student to seasoned practitioner—has a place in this professional home.

The conversation reveals ACNM's dramatic transformation, streamlining from 61 committees to a focused 20, with the Midwives of Color group elevated from committee to council status—signaling the organization's commitment to centering diversity and inclusion.  For those considering joining or becoming more active, the benefits extend far beyond journal access and CE opportunities. ACNM provides a supportive community where midwives find mentorship, discover new career pathways, and contribute to advancing the profession through advocacy for full practice authority and pay parity.

As the 70th annual meeting approaches in Palm Springs, both leaders express excitement about bringing midwives together to celebrate, learn, and forge connections. Whether you're a student sleeping four to a hotel room or a seasoned midwife, the message is clear: your voice matters, and ACNM is stronger with your involvement.
