YFFM Membership

YFFM now has two types of membership: supporting membership and voting membership.

Supporting Membership
Supporting members receive e-mail updates on midwifery in the Yukon but are not part of any decisions YFFM makes. Supporting members have no responsibilities.

Voting Membership
Anyone who directly indicates they would like to be a voting member may become one. Voting members are involved in the decision making of YFFM. Voting members are responsible to stay involved in any discussions, and to attend meetings if they are able. If they are not able to attend meetings, voting members should participate in discussions through e-mail and phone conversations. Voting members are also expected to help with any activities YFFM undertakes. Professionals (midwives, nurses, doctors etc.) may be voting members, as long as they ensure there is no conflict of interest between their participation in their professional organization and the purposes of YFFM. If a conflict of interest arises, professionals are expected to remove themselves from the decision making process.

If you would like to become a member of YFFM, please e-mail info@yffm.ca and indicate which type of membership you would like.

Upcoming YFFM decisions may include working on regulations, depending on whether the government decides to regulate midwifery in the Yukon or not.
