New York State Perinatal Association

What New York State Perinatal Association does

The New York State Perinatal Association (NYSPA) is a New York-incorporated nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1988 and headquartered in the Binghamton/Vestal, NY area. It is the only multi-disciplinary statewide organization dedicated to perinatal health in New York, serving obstetricians, pediatricians, neonatal specialists, midwives, nurse practitioners, lactation consultants, childbirth educators, social workers, public health professionals, and the non-profit and corporate organizations that support them across all 62 counties of the state. NYSPA's mission is to reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity through education, advocacy, research promotion, and policy influence, with an emphasis on health equity and multidisciplinary collaboration spanning preconception through early childhood.

NYSPA's product surface is centered on its annual Perinatal Partnership Conference, which has run continuously since inception and attracted 250+ attendees in recent cycles, achieving a 99% speaker/content satisfaction rate and a 96% intent-to-change-practice rate in the 2024 evaluation. Beyond the conference, NYSPA operates a four-tier membership program (Individual at $50/yr, Organization at $300/yr, Corporate at $500/yr, and Perinatal Partner at $750/yr, the last of which includes voting Board representation), at least three virtual webinars annually through its Education Committee, two named recognition programs (the L. Stanley James Award and the Maternal & Infant Health Advocacy Award, the latter awarded to sitting state and federal officeholders), and a tax-deductible donation program. Distribution runs primarily through the WordPress-based nysperinatal.org site with Stripe for payments and email outreach to members.

Commercially, NYSPA generates revenue from four streams: membership dues (annual recurring), conference registrations, exhibitor fees, and sponsorship packages (one-time to multi-year contracts), supplemented by tax-deductible donations from individuals and organizations. The organization became operationally independent in 2023 after a 28-year fiscal-sponsorship arrangement with Mothers & Babies Perinatal Network of South Central New York concluded, and now runs a lean Board-governed operation with deep strategic ties to March of Dimes, ACOG District II, NYMidwives, NewYork-Presbyterian, Westchester Medical Center, and the statewide perinatal regional network via ARPP and APN.

Regional players

• Association of Perinatal Networks (APN): Statewide umbrella of independent perinatal networks in New York. Direct operating peer and NYSPA partner, with overlapping mission around community-based perinatal health advocacy across the same geography.

Direct peers

• ACOG District II (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists): The New York District of ACOG serves OB/GYNs statewide — the same core professional audience NYSPA targets. Both provide CME, advocacy, and networking; ACOG is the larger specialty society while NYSPA is multi-disciplinary.
• New York Midwives (NYMidwives): State-level midwifery professional membership association serving a substantial portion of NYSPA's midwife and nurse practitioner constituency. Direct overlap in membership audience and perinatal advocacy mission.
• Lamaze International: International professional association for childbirth educators and lactation support — overlapping with NYSPA's childbirth educator, lactation consultant, and perinatal health professional segments.
• National Perinatal Association: National counterpart to NYSPA, representing the multi-disciplinary perinatal health professional model at the national level. Closest direct comparable in mission, structure, and member profile.

Broad incumbents

• March of Dimes: National nonprofit focused on maternal and infant health through research, education, and advocacy. NYSPA's most prominent Perinatal Partner and a much larger incumbent with overlapping mission and overlapping donor/supporter base.
• Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN): National nursing specialty association for OB and neonatal nurses — a core segment of NYSPA's membership. Provides CE, advocacy, and conferences at scale, competing for the same nurses' engagement and dues.
• Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM): National professional society for maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Targets a subset of NYSPA's audience with deeper specialty programming; competing draw on conference attendance and CME dollars from the same physician base.
• Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP): National membership association for state maternal and child health programs and leaders. Overlaps with NYSPA's public-health-professional membership base and statewide policy advocacy focus.

Emerging players

• Postpartum Support International (PSI): Organization focused on perinatal mental health — an adjacent and increasingly high-profile perinatal topic that overlaps with NYSPA's mental-health keynote (Catherine Monk) and member interests in mood/anxiety screening.
