About the Summit
There’s something special about a DONA International in-person meeting! Doulas and birth professionals come together from across the globe to learn and grow as we work to innovate the role of the doula in the modern healthcare system.
This year, DONA International invites you to our in-person meeting, DONA Summit 2020: Connecting Vision to Action, where we will seek to level up by enhancing our ability to serve the growing and evolving doula profession and global families.
Learning Opportunities
The Leadership Summit will focus on key areas for professional growth offering approximately 15 continuing education hours for recertification with DONA International and other organizations that accept DONA contact hours.
About Our Speakers
The DONA International Speaker Selection Committee is hard at work cultivating an excellent speaker line-up. The committee will be incorporating excellent keynote addresses alongside working sessions in which doulas can develop leadership skills with tangible take-homes that can be incorporated at the local, national, or international level.
We’ll be pursuing topics relevant to birth and postpartum doula work with an emphasis on ways to move vision to action. You can expect sessions to enhance your doula skills, as well as practical business sessions.
