The ACNM's new Director of Advocacy
& Government Affairs Amy Kohl joined our national office team on April
11. With so much at stake for women's health and midwifery in national and
state policy environments, she has hit the ground running.
Her first duties include getting to
know the ACNM national office staff team and the ACNM's federal lobbyist
Patrick Cooney; taking briefs on ACNM policy priorities for women's health;
meeting the ACNM president and the chairs of the Government Affairs and State
Government Affairs Committees and the Midwives PAC; and joining preparations
already under way for the ACNM Annual Meeting in Chicago May 21-25. "I'm delighted to bring my
experience in government affairs toward midwives' incredible mission," said
Kohl. "Every woman deserves a midwife!"
With more than 15 years' experience
in national health policy and state affairs, Kohl also brings personal
experience with midwives to her new post: Midwives in Washington, DC,
delivered both of her children.
ACNM is delighted to welcome Amy Kohl, who can be reached at

government affairs topics should continue to email them to
