Starting in 2006, ACNM began posting new content and moving some existing Web site content into a new 'members-only' section. This is part of ACNM's ongoing efforts to improve your Web experiences and amplify your membership benefits. Below, we have answered some questions you may have about 'members-only' content.
Which categories of ACNM membership are given access to ACNM's members-only pages?
Active members (Active, Active 1st year, Active/Retired and Active/Life), Associate Members, and Students are allowed members-only access. Friends of the College are not permitted to access members-only content.
How do I log in to members-only content?
When you click on a member-only link, you will be re-directed to a login screen.
On this screen, you will enter your e-mail address and ACNM password.The e-mail address you enter on that screen should be the address currently on file with ACNM.
Your password is the first four letters of your last name and your ACNM member ID number. (Your ID number can be found on your ACNM membership card. Be certain you are not using the certificate number furnished by the American Midwifery Certification Board (formerly the ACC.))
For ACNM members with last names of less than four characters (for example, Lee or Ray), insert a space between the three characters of your last name and the digits of your password, i.e., Lee 12345.
Spaces or punctuation marks in your last name must also be included in your password.

Will I need to log in more than once every time I visit the Web site?
No. You will only have to log in again if you close your browser.
Can I set my computer to remember my user ID and password every time I go to www.midwife.org?
Yes, in many cases you can. Depending on the security of your computer or your network you may be able to set your computer to remember your user ID and password when you access the ACNM website. Even if your computer is capable of remembering your user ID number and password, it is still a good idea to keep a copy of your user ID number and password in a convenient place in case something happens to your settings. If you are unable to find your user ID number and password you can send an e-mail to Meaghan Airel, ACNM Membership Coordinator, at memb@acnm.org or call 240-485-1825.
