The European League of Stuttering Associations (ELSA) was set up in 1990 by organisations in 12 countries to promote a greater knowledge and understanding of stuttering and to bring together, as a top umbrella organisation, the national stuttering self-help organisations of Europe.
ELSA stopped being an umbrella organisation in 2016.
Its main roles are:
The current executive board consists of Edwin Farr MBE[1] (Chair),[2] Anita Blom (Vice-Chair) and Richard Bourgondiën (Webmaster).[3]
The Association publishes a newsletter, One Voice,[4] which is published twice a year and is a joint project with the International Stuttering Association.[5]
Together with the International Fluency Association and the International Stuttering Association,[6] the International Stuttering Association celebrates, every 22 October, International Stuttering Awareness Day (ISAD) which includes an online conference on stuttering[7] and a media campaign.[8]
