The MANA Board is excited to announce MANA’s first ever online conference! Rise - MANA2020 will be held October 27-28, 2020.  Prioritizing the responses of midwives to the “MANA is Listening” survey in 2019 while adapting to the challenges brought by 2020, the board is optimizing resources for digital scholarship and CEUs. At the same time, and for the same reasons, the board’s commitment to connecting to members and engaging with all midwives remains steadfast. Look for opportunities over the coming weeks and months to be a part of the MANA online community during MANA2020!

On October 27-28, the live MANA2020 event will give midwives and students opportunities to listen to and interact with experts in midwifery and related fields. CEU-eligible presentations will be recorded and made available post-conference. Opportunities for group discussion on hot topics and facilitated storytelling are being planned.

Pre-conference offerings will be available as always with more opportunities for CEUs. Stay tuned for announcements about programing over the coming weeks.

The MANA Board is also in the early planning stages for a regional conference in the Spring of 2021! The voices of midwives asking for more affordable CEUs and more accessible conferences, and innovative ways to meet those needs are being explored.
