Meet Our Team

While the free sports training and competition, in-school programming, athlete health initiatives and leadership training we provide rely heavily on the efforts of an army of volunteers and partners throughout the state, none would be possible without the guidance of our board and the dedication of our staff.

Our experienced executive leaders help make Special Olympics New York one of the most trusted, successful and sustainable nonprofit organizations in the country.
