Membership, Donation and Leadership Information

Welcome
The Oregon Midwifery Council is dedicated to protecting midwifery and the birthing rights of parents in Oregon. We adhere to the Midwives Model of Care TM, which states that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes. The OMC welcomes the support of our clients and communities to help us protect the rights of mothers and babies to a gentle birth where and with whom they choose. Please join us in our vision by becoming a member or donating to Oregon Midwifery Council. With your help, we can keep midwifery strong in Oregon. 

Annual Dues & Donations (paypal accepted)
Membership is open to all supporters of midwifery.


Annual dues are to be paid by May 5th of each year on International Midwives Day. A voting member of OMC is considered anyone who has actively attended births within the past 3 years, has their dues paid in full and has attended at least two OMC regional and/or statewide meetings per calendar year. OMC is a 501c6 non-profit, therefore dues and donations are not tax deductible as most of our funds retain a lobbyist to keep our voices heard and ensure our ability to serve families in Oregon.

To join, renew, or make a donation, write your check to Oregon Midwifery Council and mail to OMC Treasurer c/o Jennifer Gallardo, OMC P.O.Box 657 Newberg, OR 97132.  Please send the following information with your payment (you can put this under paypal notes if paying online). Your membership information will be listed in our database as follows:  Name, Address, Phone, Email, Voting Member:	YES	or NO
