Get Employer Support

The ACNM 57th Annual Meeting is an important professional development opportunity for midwives. You'll learn new information and techniques that will increase patient safety and quality of care. 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. 

Letter Requesting Financial Support
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.

Other tips:
1. Let your employer know exactly what you'll get out of the Annual Meeting and how that will benefit your practice and clients.

2. Offer to share information or handouts from the Annual Meeting with your colleagues. 
3. Work with your colleagues to develop a plan so that your clients are covered while you're attending the Annual Meeting. 

4. Save money by booking your hotel and travel early, registering before the early bird deadline of April 9, 2012, and sharing a hotel room with other attendees.
