A Promising Future

Potomac, Maryland was the site for the second annual US Midwifery Education, Regulation, and Association (US MERA) meeting. The group consists of individuals from seven national midwifery organizations: American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM), Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME), American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB), Midwifery Education Accreditation Council (MEAC), Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA), National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM), and North American Registry of Midwives (NARM).

As a representative for MEAC, Kristi Ridd-Young, President of Midwives College of Utah, joined with representatives from all over the United States. Through collaborative efforts of all organizations, agreements were reached and published in a Summary Report. We applaud US MERA for leading the way as we all work together to create a strong community of midwives dedicated to the safe care of mothers and babies.
