Meet Our Advisory Council

The actions and funding decisions of the ALS Super Fund are guided by members of the Advisory Council. The Advisory Council is composed of leading minds in ALS from around the world, including neurologists, researchers, clinicians, and charity representatives. When funds are disbursed to charities, the Super Fund will report results back to donors, building transparency and confidence that the ALS Super Fund is catalyzing change.
