The mission of the Community and Stakeholder Committee (CSC) is to ensure that the EHA provides the most value to the field of hematology and its members.  

We have an essential role as an advisory body to the EHA Board. We also work closely with the EHA Office and other EHA committees. 

Our responsibilities

  • Build awareness and implement continuous analysis of EHA members’ needs. 
  • Provide insights and understanding of hematologists’ needs in all countries, with a clear focus on Europe. 
  • Evaluate the balance between the value of EHA membership and its accessibility and relevance to the members’ needs, taking into account diversity in backgrounds and demographics. 
  • Investigate members’ engagement and satisfaction. 
  • Develop new activities and initiatives to improve and promote the value of EHA membership and increase membership recruitment and retention. Provide recommendations on this topic to the EHA Board. 
  • Evaluate and provide recommendations to the EHA Board for proposals derived from national and other societies on membership issues. 
  • Monitor non-member participation in key EHA activities. 
  • Maintain and expand collaborative relationships with hematology communities in less-resourced countries, with the aim of building long-term relationships. 
  • Co-create programs within the EHA framework. 
  • Represent EHA where required—e.g. through presentations, events, or joint sessions. 
  • Create a community that’s diverse and inclusive
