Scholarships & Awards

The Thacher Fellowship enables ACNM members to build leadership skills in business management and marketing midwifery practices. 

The award will help cover the costs of attending the annual Midwifery Works Conference and engage with mentors from the Midwifery Business Network caucus and other midwifery business leaders, conference attendees, and past Thacher-MBN Fellows.  

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.
