Leadership has the ability to make positive and rippling changes through an organisation. At an organisation like Special Olympics, this is particularly important. We strive to lead with purpose and positivity.

entrepreneur and long-term campaigner for the rights and inclusion
of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Today she is
