Awards are made possible through the generous support of the Frances T. Thacher Midwifery Leadership Endowment, matched by donations from the Midwifery Business Network Caucus.


ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: 


  • Be a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) or a certified midwife (CM);
  • Be a current member of the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM);
