Hi all,
just letting everyone know that the 2nd draft of the ACMI Constitution is up
on the ACMI website and is open for comment. You can find it at:
http://www.acmi.org.au/ACMI_Constitution_Draft2.pdf
The document provides for interesting reading. I encourage all to read it
carefully and to make comment. The College is seeking feedback and or
amendments to the draft document by 24th July 2001. The Final Draft document
to be published in the August edition of the ACMI newsletter, before being
ratified at the National ACMI Conference in Brisbane in September.
I am delighted to see that the 2nd draft constitution includes nomination for
membership for "consumers" and for midwifery students -"open to those
undertaking or wishing to undertake pre registration midwifery education".
It is important that ACMI members and other interested parties contribute to
open honest and meaningful discussion on these issues and arrive at an
outcome that ultimately reflects the codependant nature of the relationship
between women and midwives - Partnership.
I look forward to hearing what others have to say on this potential
monumentous step forward in the history of Australian midwifery.
Yours in birth,
Tina Pettigrew
