Program areas at Resolve The National Infertility Association
Public Awareness: Activities that raise awareness about the disease of infertility and encourage the public to understand their reproductive health. Public Awareness activities include:National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW): The only federally recognized health observance for infertility which was founded by RESOLVE in 1989. Held in April each year, the 2023 observance was focused on the theme "Find Your Voice" which encouraged people to advocate, support others, and make a difference. Iconic buildings and bridges were lit up orange, including the Empire State Building in New York City. RESOLVE leadership rang the Closing Bell of NASDAQ during NIAW. See Schedule O for continuation
Advocacy: RESOLVE hosts the only federal Advocacy Day aimed at the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives for the entire infertility and family building community.

A total of 460 advocates from 49 states plus DC talked to their U.S. Senators and Representative about the disease of infertility and advocated for legislation important to people struggling to build their family.
