NCPA Committees
The North Carolina Perinatal Association has several committees for members to join and share their knowledge and skills. Five standing committees help the NCPA to improve perinatal health for childbearing families throughout North Carolina. Joining one of these committees is a great way for you to develop some new skills, gain really valuable experience, and expand your network.
