Meet the AOECS Board of Directors

AOECS is pleased to introduce its Board of Directors following the General Assembly held in Amsterdam on 10 October 2026.

Representing coeliac societies across Europe, the seven-member Board brings together a broad range of experience and expertise. Its role is to guide AOECS's strategic direction, strengthen cooperation among member societies and advance our shared mission of improving the lives of people affected by coeliac disease.

Board members serve three-year terms, with the possibility of one re-election in accordance with AOECS's statutes.

We look forward to working together to strengthen the voice of the European coeliac community and promote better awareness, care and quality of life for everyone living with coeliac disease.
