CFA Welcomes New Board Members, Helping Launch a New Era of Board Leadership

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Denver, CO | April 20, 2026

Colorado Fertility Advocates (CFA) is proud to announce the appointment of four new members to its Board of Directors, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s evolution and the beginning of a new era of leadership through the embodiment of a working board model that emphasizes a balance between professional responsibility, family life, and advocacy stewardship. This model allows the organization to draw on the commitment, expertise, and lived experience of its leaders while building an infrastructure needed to sustain advocacy for years to come.

“We are deeply grateful to those who built CFA into what it is today,” said Kristina Shaw, Board Chair of Colorado Fertility Advocates. “And this new era honors their legacy by embracing the spirit of a true “working board” model that aligns with the reality of who we are: professionals, parents, and advocates.”

With nine board members now serving, CFA is entering a period of renewed momentum and disciplined growth. Over the past year, CFA has also simplified and refined its membership pathways, expanded opportunities for individuals to engage with its mission and activities, and undertaken meaningful stewardship work to strengthen its foundation, including updating Board bylaws. In addition, the organization has sharpened its focus around two core strategic priorities: increasing its impact in protecting access to fertility care and building informed, empowered communities alongside partners.

““We could not be more excited about the perspective, energy, and commitment that Alex, Lisa and Alicia bring to CFA. This next phase is about ensuring that CFA continues to serve as a trusted voice and national leader in fertility advocacy for years to come.””
— Kristina Shaw, CFA Chair
