Membership in the North Carolina Perinatal Association: Fall 2006

Imagine with me that you are in a group that is dynamic and energized for wellness and health promotion for families in North Carolina! Think of what it looks like when like-minded people join forces to learn and grow together as professionals and consumers interested in perinatal issues. Maybe you see the perinatal world through the lens of the Health department you work for but come away from this group exposed to the latest hospital updates. Suddenly your ability to prepare your patient for their hospital experience or with the latest procedures available is correct and more helpful. On the other hand, it might be just the opposite from your viewpoint in a hospital setting. What an opportunity it is to network with the community organizations and resource people that influence perinatal care in North Carolina! This is just a snapshot of what it is to participate in the North Carolina Perinatal Association. A diverse group of people yet united in the desire to improve Perinatal outcomes in North Carolina.

We had tremendous support from our membership at the Myrtle Beach conference in September this year. Thanks so much to those of you that volunteered time at the membership display and to those who bought items we were selling to support the organization. You are the reason we exist, and without our membership face in the various places that perinatal care is provided in North Carolina, we are invisible. So, whether you are kissing the wee little babies we wish were not so small, or you are working in family planning to prepare women for the healthiest outcomes, it is you that is the face of membership in NCPA. Keep up the good work and invite your colleagues to join our task of growing our membership in North Carolina into a mighty army.

Membership to the NCPA is open all year and is renewed during the conference registration period from July - Sept each year. If you were unable to attend this year, your $30 membership fees are now due. Please complete the membership application (at the bottom of this document), mark renewal or new member and send to our PO Box as soon as possible. If you are interested in being a new member, our brochure can be opened from this site. We are thrilled to have you join or renew with us. To reduce expenses, please make every effort to provide us with an email or fax number that we can use to send information to you in lieu of mailing. Please direct any questions or concerns about your membership to:
