The NMA supports the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in their launch of their campaign encouraging newly elected and returning members of Congress to prioritize racial diversity when hiring their top staff. The campaign includes a new website tracking the diversity trends of the top staff of every member of the 118th Congress and offering clear directives for how to solve the lack of representation, ads, and an explainer video on the need for diversity on the Hill.
Please join us on Sunday, July 20th at 11:30 am for the 2025 Annual Muriel Petioni, MD Awards Luncheon hosted by the Council on Concerns on Women Physicians (CCWP). Our speaker this year will be @jotakaeaddy from #WinwithBlackWomen. The theme for the Luncheon is "Sisterhood on the Frontlines of Health". We will also honor the trailblazing women who lead the way in health, advocacy, and community impact. You do not have to be registered for the convention to attend.
We would like to thank our Paton level sponsor, @blackgirlvitamins, for their support of Black Women Physicians and diversifying the face of medicine through support of our Pathways Promotion for Success Initiative. See you in Chicago!
