Every year, the conference aims to highlight maternal and child health (MCH) programs’ impact at all levels on women, children, and families and to provide participants with tools and resources to develop, enhance, and sustain vital MCH programs and services.

Celebrating Black Maternal Health Week at AMCHP 2024
This year, the 2024 AMCHP Annual Conference falls during Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW). BMHW is a week-long, annual campaign founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance that takes place April 11-17. It is a celebration and annual crescendo in the reproductive justice movement and a time of deep solidarity, creativity, visioning, and action.
The co-occurrence of the AMCHP conference during Black Maternal Health Week was not intentional, and we wish we had acknowledged it sooner. We will ensure that AMCHP conference activities include time, space, and acknowledgment for attendees to participate in virtual events hosted by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance and partner organizations.
In recognition of this co-occurrence, our conference features a new content track, Black Maternal Health. This track includes seven in-person workshops scheduled across the conference breakout sessions, 20 posters in-person in the exhibit hall, a lunch-provided student and early career professional roundtable session on Saturday, April 13, a virtually hosted workshop on Sunday, April 14, and two virtual posters.
We will continue maximizing the opportunity presented by AMCHP 2024 and convening maternal and child health leaders from across the country to raise awareness of Black Maternal Health Week, honor Black maternal health leaders, birthing people and families, and make deep commitments to using our collective power to transform systems for reproductive justice and racial justice.
We look forward to providing more updates on how we will celebrate Black Maternal Health Week at AMCHP 2024 through our conference newsletter and forthcoming detailed agenda.

Contribute to the AMCHP Annual Conference Scholarship for Community-Based Organizations (CBO), Youth, Family Leaders, and Tribal Entities
The AMCHP Annual Conference Scholarship for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), Youth, Family Leaders, and Tribal Entities aims to invite and financially support youth and young adult leaders (including students), CBOs, and representatives of tribal entities involved with maternal and child health (MCH) efforts to attend.
Often, community members, youth, and young adults are not involved, integrated, or prioritized when it comes to the various policies and programs that impact their peers and families. Cultivating and sustaining relationships with diverse leaders cannot be achieved without amplifying, supporting, and compensating the efforts of community leaders who contribute to the vitality of maternal and child health. This effort ties directly into the overall theme of partnership for this year’s upcoming conference while also being a focus of AMCHP’s strategic plan around partnership development.
AMCHP has composed a letter from our President and CEO providing further details about ways to support these individuals’ attendance.
How Can I Support?
As we recognize the need to involve and prioritize diverse leaders in discussions and decisions that affect their communities and families, we invite you to make a meaningful impact by making a financial investment in enabling representatives from these groups to attend this year’s conference, either in person or virtually.
AMCHP is committed to providing a space and audience so that the talent and expertise of community representatives are recognized and integrated into MCH priorities. Fostering an environment at the conference to learn from, network with, and share insights with one another is a great opportunity for you to do so as well! We believe that supporting representatives to attend the conference will increase your program’s capacity for youth and community engagement as well as leadership development. Your support is not just a donation; it’s a meaningful step toward building and sustaining trusting relationships with these groups in your state or jurisdiction.
We encourage you to visit our conference registration page and consider making the financial investment to send youth and young adults, CBOs, and representatives of tribal entities from your state or jurisdiction to the conference, either in person or virtually.
