Meet Our Team

While the Summer and Winter Games and our events throughout the year rely heavily on the efforts of an army of volunteers throughout the state, none of those activities would be possible without the guidance of our board and the dedication of our staff.

From development to information technology, program coordination to administration, the services of our team—led by our experienced executive leaders—make Special Olympics New York the successful, sustainable organization it is.
