Welcome!

The Mid-America chapter of the American Medical Writer's Association was founded in 1985, and historically serves AMWA members living in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. We published a quarterly newsletter (latest issue Fall 2024), and hold regular meetings. The Board of Directors holds regular meetings by teleconference, and minutes of those meetings are available.

Upcoming Chapter Events:

2025

May 14 - The Third Age: How Tech Writers Plan and Enjoy Their Golden Years, presented by Dana Delibovi
Friends in Spain and Latin America call the last part of life La Tercera Edad, the Third Age. The Third Age is a different concept than retirement from a full-time job or career, and involves the physical, emotional, creative, and spiritual path of the older person. In this interactive meeting, we will share thoughts and feelings—our hopes and plans, but also our fears and sorrows—about the Third Age, and take time to express ourselves in free gift mini-journals.


July 9 - What Do Geeks Do For Fun Around Here?, presented by Alice Fugate
September 10 - Let's Talk Strategy: Managing Difficult Clients and Coworkers, presented by Sunali Wadehra
November 12 - Best and Worst Books of 2025, presented by Leslie Neistadt

All meetings are held at Sunny Street Cafe, 11692 Manchester Road, Des Peres from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.  For more information or to register contact one of the organizers.
