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.

November 13 - Best and Worst Books of 2024, moderated by Leslie Neistadt
This meeting will focus on books, medical/scientific and otherwise. Leslie will compile a list of book suggestions from the group (pro and con) prior to the meeting, so that we all walk away with some new ideas for reading. Book suggestions are not limited to those published in 2024.
