Wouldn't it be great if we only had to make 1 stop for everything we needed to guide us through our lives as women and mothers? Mom-mentum aims to be just that! We are the only voice supporting women and mothers personally, professionally AND through public policy. 

In this issue of our Mom-mentum eNews (formerly the NAMC eNews) we'll bring you news and resources targeting every area of your life. We hope you enjoy our new, simplified format!
