Re: Blue Faery Leadership Transition Statement
Blue Faery is entering an important new chapter, grounded in the same mission and
commitment that have guided our organization since its founding.
After years of extraordinary leadership and service, our President and Founder, Andrea Wilson
Woods, will be transitioning from her leadership role at the end of 2026. Andrea's vision,
passion, and deeply personal commitment to the liver cancer community created Blue Faery
and have shaped the organization into what it is today. We are enormously grateful for all she
has built and for the countless patients, caregivers, and families whose lives have been touched
by her work.
The Blue Faery Board of Directors is thoughtfully planning for this transition and for the
organization's next chapter. As part of that process, the Board is considering the leadership
structure and resources that will best position Blue Faery to build upon Andrea's remarkable
legacy and continue expanding its impact.
Throughout this transition, our mission remains unchanged: to prevent, treat, and cure primary
liver cancer through research, education, and advocacy. Our commitment to the patients and
families we serve remains at the heart of every decision we make.
We look forward to sharing more about Blue Faery's next chapter in the new year. For now, we
are focused on both ensuring a thoughtful and seamless transition and celebrating Andrea's
extraordinary contributions to Blue Faery and the liver cancer community.
We are deeply grateful to our supporters, partners, advocates, and friends for being part of this
journey—and we are excited about the future we will continue to build together.
