Meet the team
Meet the dedicated ECLLA team, working collaboratively to advance the association’s mission and strengthen the CLL community across Europe.
During the interim period, the European CLL Association (ECLLA) will be led by its founding members, who will provide strategic and operational leadership while the governance structure is formally established. Acting in alignment with ECLLA’s vision and values, the founders will guide the organization’s initial activities and oversee the structured formation and appointment of the Steering Committee, Medical Advisory Committee, Patient Advisory Committee, and Working Groups.
