Members of the VMA benefit from joining a community with a common interest. We are invested in improving maternity care and providing choices to families who are seeking midwifery care. Membership with the VMA provides a platform for social interaction via in person meetings, phone meetings and a social networking site. One of the benefits of being a VMA member is the listing on the VMA website. This opportunity is for those who are state licensed or state certified. The website is where many families find a midwife to work with for their care.
