Hi [Supervisor Name / Finance Contact],
I am reaching out to request approval to [become a member of / renew my membership with] the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). With more than 60,000 members, ACOG is the premier professional membership organization for obstetrician–gynecologists.
From clinical guidance to technology and regulations, the health care field is constantly changing. An ACOG membership will help me stay on top of these changes so I can continue to serve [workplace name] and our patients to the very best of my ability.
An ACOG membership, paid annually, comes with immediate access to the following:

ACOG’s members are leaders in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. The organization provides invaluable opportunities to network and connect with other members and serve in leadership positions within the organization. As a member, I will also have the chance to influence advocacy for our profession and patients at the state and federal levels. Opportunities like this will only help solidify [workplace name]’s role as a leader in women’s health care.
I am confident that an ACOG membership is a good investment for [workplace name] and will help me continue to deliver on my commitment to improving the lives of our patients. I look forward to hearing back from you, and welcome the opportunity to discuss further.
Thank you,
