Dear NACPM Community,
We are writing to keep you informed about recent developments at the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM), as transparency and trust are key to our relationship with you.
NARM alerted us to an internal matter involving potential financial irregularities by a former board member and we have actively been in dialogue and supporting them with analysis. While NARM is still conducting an investigation, we feel assured that the issue is being handled with the utmost care. NACPM stands ready to assist NARM as needed while maintaining our focus on supporting the midwifery community.
As part of our commitment to ensuring the integrity of the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) credential, NACPM has conducted a thorough analysis of the situation’s potential impact on licensure in states where CPMs are regulated. After careful consideration, we can confidently assure you that this development does not pose any current risk to licensure, credentialing, or the important work of Certified Professional Midwives.
We are impressed with the decisive action NARM has taken to address the matter, including the appointment of several highly respected new board members, and we are confident in their ability to steer the organization through this transition.
Rest assured, NACPM remains fully committed to advocating for the strength and integrity of the CPM credential, advancing midwifery legislation, and ensuring access to culturally congruent, high-quality midwifery care.
If any developments arise that may impact your practice or licensure, we will provide timely and clear communication. In the meantime, please continue your work with confidence, knowing that NACPM is here to support you.
Thank you for your dedication to midwifery and for the care you provide to families across the country.
Sincerely ,
The NACPM Board of Directors
