CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| With the release of a new strategic plan in 2015 by Special Olympics International, the SOTN Board approved a new SOTN Strategic Plan in June 2016. This is fundamentally the most important document to lead this organization that we have ever had. It is the focus of our future.The plans most recent update was in June, 2019. With the sale of our building in Dec. of 2014, SOTN established a ad-hoc Building Committee to seek out purchasing or building a permanent home for Special Olympics Tennessee. This effort is ongoing. |
