LOS ANGELES, CA<\/strong> – Augie\u2019s Quest to Cure ALS, a nonprofit committed to changing the experience of thousands living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by investing in cutting-edge research to advance effective treatments and an ultimate cure, announced the organization\u2019s inaugural Board of Directors and Leadership Council.<\/p>\n

Led by Augie Nieto, Chairman of the Board, the inaugural board members include Lynne Nieto, Board Secretary and Treasurer; Eric Affeldt, Sherri Medina, Paul Sallaberry, Bert Selva and Jim Worthington. Michael \u201cBoomer\u201d Wallace (1972-2018), a devoted husband, father and friend, and successful fashion industry executive, also served as an ALS champion and board member all too briefly, having lost his own battle against ALS just weeks after participating in the board\u2019s first meeting. It is to honor Boomer\u2019s life, dedication to this organization\u2019s mission, business savvy, wicked sense of humor, and hopeful optimism that the Augie\u2019s Quest board members commit to ending this devastating disease.<\/p>\n

The Leadership Council is comprised of individuals who have achieved remarkable success and reaped the benefits from those accomplishments to make a significant, life-saving difference in the lives of others, especially in the quest to end ALS. Inaugural members include Matt Bellina, Scott Cameron, John Duden, Philip Green, Evan Lamberg, Pat Laus, Nancy O\u2019Dell, Bob Olson, John Ondrasik, Alberto Perlman, Larree Renda and Matt Stewart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe collective talent, expertise and shared passion of this dynamic group of individuals will allow Augie\u2019s Quest to continue to grow, extending our ability to effectively fundraise, increase awareness of ALS, and fast-track effective treatments and an ultimate cure,\u201d said Augie Nieto, co-founder of Augie\u2019s Quest and Chairman of the Board. \u201cI am excited to work alongside our new Board of Directors and Leadership Council, and I am so grateful to each of them for giving their time, resources, intellect and dedication to our cause. Together, we will end ALS once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Representing decades of effective leadership across multiple professional fields, the board of directors and leadership council will advise Augie\u2019s Quest to Cure ALS on strategic growth and impact.
