1 SPECIAL OLYMPICS INDIANA 2 From the CEO SPECIAL OLYMPICS EMPOWERS During my first few months as president, the most commonly asked question to me: “How is the transition going?” Despite being involved with Special Olympics Indiana for 20 years, being on staff for 15 years, and being the Chief Operating Officer for 1 years . . . I feel like a rookie.

Thankfully, I receive encouragement from those around me. Not necessarily by words, though I have received numerous emails and phone calls, but by their mere presence and continued dedication to the mission. Our extraordinary staff. Our committed Board of Directors. Our devoted volunteers. And most importantly, our amazing athletes.

One email in particular humbles me. It provides daily motivation. It comes from Allison Werne of Dubois County. Athlete. Swimmer. Leader. Motivator. “ THE VISION OF SPECIAL OLYMPICS Mohler, I am happy that you are the new president for Special Olympics Indiana. is to empower people with intellectual “ Please let me know if you need anything. I will be happy to assist you. Allison Werne disabilities to realize their full potential and Mohler. I like how she just called me “Mohler”. No formality, because there isn’t need for it. She and I have known each develop their skills through year-round sports other for years. A while back, Allison visited our office to volunteer. Not that we needed her to help. She wanted to help. Allison wears an assistive device as her only means to type. That day she typed. For hours she typed. She typed training and competition. As a result, Special until the work was done. I could have done that data entry in a fraction of the time. Speed wasn’t the objective that day. I wasn’t the teacher that day. Allison was. My lesson: patience, humility, and how to empower others (even through simple tasks). Olympics athletes become fulfilled and Special Olympics Indiana hosts sports competitions so that Allison, and our other 14,424 athletes, can demonstrate their skills. Yet she and they compete so that we, especially me, can be inspired to better ourselves. To value what productive members of their families and the we have, rather than focus on what we don’t have.

Special Olympics empowers. We have basketball players who spread the message. We have runners who advocate. communities in which they live. Special Olympics We have skiers who teach. We have athletes who lead.

I enjoy reading Allison’s email, as I know how long it took her to type it. A simple message. One that took a long is an experience that is energizing, healthy, time to send. She continues to be my teacher.

Each of Allison’s emails ends with a quote from John Wooden: skillful, welcoming and joyful. “Your energy and enjoyment, drive and dedication will stimulate and greatly inspire others.”

There is no truer description of Allison, or our athletes, than this. – Jeff Mohler
