History


AWHONN was established in 1969 within the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists.

At that time, the association was known as the Nurses Association of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (NAACOG).

Members focused on providing educational opportunities and enhancing practice standards for nurses specializing in women’s health, obstetric and neonatal care.

Over the years, the association’s membership numbers increased steadily, and the association’s influence grew.
