Get Employer Support to Attend the Annual Meeting





The ACNM 59th
Annual Meeting is an important professional development opportunity for
midwives. You'll learn new information and techniques that you'll then
bring back to your practice to increase patient safety and quality of care. In fact, you'll get so much value from the Annual Meeting that your employer may be willing to help pay for some or all of your
meeting expenses. 
Here are a few tips and tools to help you gain your employer's support.


First, we've developed a letter that you can use as a template to request
financial assistance from your employer. Download the letter and customize it
to fit your needs.
