Event Management Guide

The Event Management Guide is a tool used by teams of volunteers who organise and deliver Special Olympics Ireland events.  This guide clearly outlines the key components and management structure for an event.  The guide is full of practical advice and tips, presented in an accessible and user friendly format.  This guide will ensure that we will have consistency across all our events throughout Ireland, which in turn will benefit the athletes, coaches, family members, and spectators who attend Special Olympics Ireland events.
