SANMC Student Liaison Description & Responsibilities
The SANMC Student Liaison serves as the point of connection between students in their academic programs and the governing structures of ACNM. As such, their main responsibilities include:
Term of Service:
The term for the Student and New Midwives Committee (SANMC) student liaison is from annual meeting to annual meeting in a one-year term (unless your program director decides that you will stay on for year two). Each educational program has a different way of choosing liaisons. The SANMC co-chairs should be notified of all new liaison names by July 1st to facilitate onboarding of the new cohort.
Time Commitment:
The purpose of the student report is to provide student members of ACNM with an opportunity to address the ACNM BOD, ACNM staff, ACNM leadership and the general membership about the issues/concerns that they would like to see addressed by the College and to share their vision of how these issues/concerns might be addressed.
Each year during the months leading up to the ACNM Annual Meeting, student liaisons (one from each education program) collect information from their classmates about content to include and begin drafting the report. The final report is written by the liaisons during face-to-face meetings at the Annual Meeting and delivered to the membership by selected liaisons during the closing business meeting. Following the Annual Meeting, the ACNM Board of Directors carefully reviews the report to determine the need for potential action to be taken by various ACNM volunteer divisions or national office departments in order to address points that were raised by students.
