Executive Council Report
Contact your Chapter Chair: Kathy Brown: Kbrowncnm@aol.com
In August of 2007, the
ACNM Region IV, Chapter 7 decided to
ask practices in our region to each take responsibility for a piece of
the
overall effort to spread the word about nurse-midwives in
Michigan.
The decision was made by the Advisory Council
to ask each practice to take a month. During
your month, it is hoped that you can do something related to marketing
or
public relations, such as invite a local reporter in to photograph you
in your
office, offer free pap smears with payment of annual exam fee, attend a
health
fair, place an ad, etc. Let the Chapter
know what you are planning, so we might look for opportunities to
magnify your
efforts or coordinate them with those of others. This is for 2007
and beyond. We’re going to see how well this works. See
Susan Greenlee with questions or
suggestions, sgreenleecnm@comcast.net. Thank
you! Dates of national observances
