Midwives Association of British Columbia

The Midwives Association of British Columbia (MABC) is the provincial professional association for Registered Midwives and is dedicated to promoting and advancing the profession of midwifery, advocating for the ongoing development of midwifery services, and supporting our members in providing excellent care to families across the province.

Since regulation in 1998 midwives in British Columbia have grown from a small group of dedicated professionals to a vital part of the BC health care system. Midwives currently deliver more than 25% of all babies born in the province – roughly 10,000 per year – and that number is anticipated to grow in the coming years. Midwives are stabilizing sexual, reproductive and newborn care in many communities, and this vital contribution is especially crucial in rural, remote, and First Nations communities.

Midwives and the MABC have made remarkable strides in recent years, reflecting the incredible growth and progress of our profession. As we continue this momentum, there are exciting opportunities ahead to further strengthen and expand our impact.

MABC now seeks an experienced and visionary Executive Director to lead MABC into this exciting future.

This is a compelling opportunity for an experienced leader to:

  • Leverage and engage the passion and calling that member midwives feel for their work;
  • Straddle the need to engage with healthcare systems, authorities, and governance, with the fundamental life-changing work of midwives;
  • Build community among MABC membership and ensure MABC’s value is felt and shared;
  • Help galvanize the strategic direction for MABC’s future.
