ATHLETE
LEADERSHIP
PROGRAM
Area Athlete Input Councils give athletes a
way to share ideas, provide feedback and
gain leadership training at the local area
level. Formerly called "athlete liaisons"
for their Area Leadership Team, our
Athlete Input Council members convene
and support their area, with the help and
guidance of the area Athlete Mentor. On
May 19, 2018, all 5 areas were represented
at an Athlete Leadership Training workshop
held at the Dover Elks Lodge. A feature
of this years' training was a presentation
by Bank of America entitled Better Money
Habbits.Each group also had the opportunity
to learn more about the mission of Special
Olympics Delaware, the structure of Athlete
Input Councils, as well as the many ways
to help become involved at the local and
program level. This is just one pathway for
athletes to be educated as leaders in their
areas, in addition to being spokespersons
for Special Olympics.
