3. Lianne Mandelbaum - Food Allergy Advocate - Twitter @NoNutTraveler


In 2013, following a negative travel experience with her family, Lianne founded nonuttraveler.com — an advocacy website for food allergic flyers. Her goal is to increase awareness of the seriousness of life threatening food allergies with an emphasis on air travel. The site provides resources and tools so that food allergic passengers can make informed decisions in choosing airlines and mitigate their risk. Nonuttraveler.com also contains an airline petition drive with more than 90,000 signatures from people all over the world urging action.

Lianne Mandelbaum M.S. P.T. Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons is a prolific food allergy writer. Her writing has been featured in Huffington Post, The Mighty, KevinMD and Allergic Living Magazine, and to date she has published over 40 articles. Her tips for flying with a food allergy were featured in a piece for the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy Research at Stanford. Her advocacy has been featured in the The New York Times, Forbes, Condé Nast Traveler, Allergic Living, Yahoo!, Fox NewsHQ, ABC News and CBS News. She was the recipient of the FARE 2013 Leadership Award and 2017 FARE Vision Award. No Nut Traveler was selected as one of the best allergy blogs of 2019 by Healthline.


Lianne is personally committed to raising awareness among airlines as well as consumers, to mitigate the risks of flying with a food allergy. She and her son have testified in front of the NJ Senate Transportation Committee. In October of 2014, she presented at the Universal Access in Airports conference sponsored by Open Doors and was able to educate those airlines, FAA, DOT and FAA and many individual airline members in attendance to the dangers of flying with a life- threatening food allergy. She designed a training module that Open Doors now uses in all its CRO (complaint resolution officers) classes specific to the food allergic passenger.


Lianne collects and shares testimonials regarding flying experiences from food allergic families on No Nut Traveler. She shares these testimonials with lawmakers, media, and food allergy advocacy groups and in doing so, hopes to influence the airlines and government to create food allergy airline policies that are fair and evenly promulgated throughout the airline industry. Most recently, her testimonials were the basis of a New York Times piece regarding traveling with a food allergy. There are also links on her site to easily connect people to the DOT (Department of Transportation) and their respective legislators.


Lianne is a member of a FARE led airline coalition formed to present a unified voice regarding the steps that the airline industry can implement to better accommodate passengers with food allergies. She is sought out to participate on advocacy panels to discuss the challenges of flying with food allergies and has served on panels for IFAAA (International Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Alliance), The Food Allergy Fund Summit, and the Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center at University of Michigan. She has also been tasked with discussions to stimulate investment in the food allergy research arena and the need for FDA approved treatment options for the food allergy consumer.

9. Sally Huss - Author and Illustrator - Twitter @SallyHuss

Sally Huss has been an artist and writer all of her life. She attended Occidental College for three years before graduating from the University of Southern California with a degree in Fine Art. At the same time Sally was developing her artistic skills, she was developing her tennis skills, becoming a Wimbledon and US National Junior Champion, and eventually a Wimbledon semi-finalist in the Women's Division in both singles and doubles.


Sally played prior to the open era in tennis. There was no prize money at that time. Through her tennis connections, she ended up working in television in Los Angeles and then in film for Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. Eventually, she ran Paul Simon’s music publishing company in Beverly Hills.


After studying movement therapy and Zen, Sally returned to the tennis courts teaching her special brand of tennis. Her clients included Barbra Streisand, Joe Gray, Larry Hagman, Valerie Perrine, Helen Reddy, etc.


It was on a tennis court in Beverly Hills that Sally met her match – Marv Huss. The two were married in Aspen, Colorado in 1976. Marv, a fine tennis player himself, had been the Director of National Advertising and Promotion for Hallmark Cards, and had created the original Hallmark card shops. The two combined their talents in business, tennis and art by first developing The Aspen Club, a luxury health spa and tennis club with eleven outdoor courts, two indoor courts, sixteen racquetball courts, two squash courts, a restaurant, bar, twelve spectacular condominiums, and 1,500 members. Sally became the first woman head tennis professional there and played a "Battle of the Sexes" against the infamous Bobby Riggs to promote the club’s opening.


After their son Michael was born, the Husses returned to California and used their other expertise – that of art and art promotion. The first Sally Huss Gallery was opened in Laguna Beach in the early 1980's. Within the next twelve years the number of Sally Huss Galleries grew to twenty-six across the country with others in Tokyo and Switzerland. Each gallery was filled with Sally's art and licensed products as well as her happy sayings.


Sweet and whimsical images danced across all of her creations. Whether in the form of original paintings, clothing, purses, wallpaper, greeting cards, ceramics, baby bibs or children's books, and her syndicated newspaper panel Happy Musings. All of her work was, and still is, happy in nature and free-spirited in style. She is well known for her beach scenes, florals and more recently her contemporary landscapes. Sally's art has found its way into millions of homes across the country, including those of Clint Eastwood, Kirk Douglas, Larry Hagman, Joel Gray, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Mitt Romney.


With the closing of the galleries after 9/11, Sally began focusing exclusively on her children’s books. Now the number has reached over 82 books with another 45 variations (multicultural and Spanish versions.) All may be found through her website and on Amazon. All of the books focus on social/emotional issues and are designed to uplift the lives of children everywhere.


Presently Sally and Marv live in Colorado Springs where Sally continues to paint, write, and illustrate her books, as well as play a little social tennis.
