Workforce Development and Education Support Committee

CNMA's Workforce Development and Education Support Committee focuses on building, diversifying, and retaining the CNM workforce in California.  This includes strategizing to increase the number of clinical placement sites and preceptors in California, establishing and maintaining communications between midwifery programs that have student nurse-midwives in California and the CNMA Board of Directors, fostering and supporting student mentoring programs, and seeking ways to support and retain midwives in practice.

 

Ideal candidates for this committee include any of the following:

• Lead and Chief Midwives from practices throughout the state 

• At least one representative from each midwifery program that has student midwives in California

• Midwives who are passionate about supporting students and educators

• Midwives who are passionate about mentoring 

• Midwives who are passionate about scaling up midwifery in California

• Midwives who seek to enhance the well-being of midwives in practice
