Kathryn Glover: Special Olympics Athlete Representative for State Winter Games
Kathryn was chosen for this important role because of her proven leadership abilities. Last year, she participated with President & CEO Neal Johnson in the 5th Annual Special Olympics Hill Day in Washington D.C. An ambassador for Special Olympics, she sought congressional support for the reauthorization of the Special Olympics Sports Empowerment Act, which endorses the global growth of Special Olympics Programs, including the expansion of Special Healthy Athletes and education initiatives around intellectual disabilities.
Kathryn has trained and competed in Central New York for more than 15 years, serving as a Global Messenger for 10 years. “While in Washington, D.C. I felt as though my voice was heard, and that I made a difference for over 47,000 athletes throughout the state.”
