Local Program Management

Who are Local Program Managers?

Local Program Managers (formally known as Agency Managers) are integral to how Special Olympics Wisconsin functions. Local Program Managers head up the more than 160 community programs Special Olympics athletes around the state join to train and compete in sports, participate in wrap-around programming and enjoy the camaraderie of Special Olympics. Managers have several responsibilities which include planning, organizing, directing and coordinating programs and services for the athletes, families or volunteers within their respective program.
