AABC’s strength comes from its members. With a small staff, it is the dedication, expertise, and passion of our volunteers that allow us to achieve so much together.
This year, more than 50 members are serving on AABC committees and task forces, bringing diverse perspectives and skills that help shape the future of birth center care.
Now it’s your turn. Serving on a committee is a rewarding way to deepen your involvement, connect with colleagues, and make a lasting impact. All levels of experience are welcome. Members are appointed to a one-year term in 2025, and we’ll do our best to match you with the committee that fits your skills, interests, and goals.
