We are constantly working at making the only association for working mothers better for you. Because of this, we are making some small changes that have a BIG impact.
The first change is this new weekly newsletter. It's a quick 3-minute read to keep you updated on new benefits, promotions, and news both nationally and in your area. Our national e-magazine will now come out once every two months.
Read below to find out the latest information about business, MIBN, events, members, and more.

Miss Jones had been giving her second-grade students a lesson on science. She had explained about magnets and showed how they would pick up nails and other bits of iron.

Little Johnny in the front row proudly said, “You're a mother!”
