RESOLVE Appoints Danielle Melfi as New CEO to Lead Through Critical Period for Family Building Rights

WASHINGTON, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association has appointed Danielle Melfi as its new CEO, effective July 7.

Danielle's record of results-driven leadership includes advancing policy changes at both the state and federal levels, including overseeing historic bipartisan increases in family-focused budgets in Wisconsin and national reduction of health care costs. Danielle raised tens of millions of dollars as Executive Director of the nonprofit Building Back Together and oversaw large-scale teams as Chief People Officer at the White House and Chief Program Officer at AmeriCorps.

Danielle joins RESOLVE at a pivotal time for family building rights, as national attention and momentum around access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) continue to grow. High-profile developments – such as the Alabama Supreme Court's 2024 decision restricting IVF access and President Trump's vocal support of IVF – have brought fertility care into the spotlight.

"Danielle's deep commitment to supporting women and families and her demonstrated leadership in times of change make her the ideal leader for RESOLVE's next chapter," stated Elizabeth Grill, chair of the Board of Directors.

"I'm honored to join RESOLVE at such a pivotal moment for family building rights," said Danielle Melfi. "Recent events have brought unprecedented attention to family building issues, reinforcing what we've long known: Americans across the political spectrum overwhelmingly support access to fertility care. I'm excited to help ensure that everyone who dreams of building a family can access the care they need."

Barbara Collura will conclude her remarkable 18-year tenure as President and CEO on June 30, after more than two decades of service to RESOLVE.

As the nation's oldest and leading patient advocacy organization for the infertility and family building community, RESOLVE is at the frontlines in the fight to protect and expand fertility care to all those who need it. Under Danielle's leadership, RESOLVE will capitalize on this moment of increased awareness and political engagement to expand access to reduce the financial burden of fertility treatment, and protect everyone's right to build a family.

Since 2016, RESOLVE's advocacy has increased access to family building benefits for over 65 million people and has stopped personhood legislation that would restrict IVF. For more information, visit www.RESOLVE.org and for media inquiries contact [email protected].
