Special Olympics Norway signed an agreement of cooperation with the Norwegian Olympic Committee and the Confederation of Sports (NIF). The agreement will contribute to strengthening the relationship between organized sports and Special Olympics Norway while increasing participation and competition opportunities. The agreement was signed 22 May 2007 at NIF offices in Oslo.
“This is an important agreement for Norwegian sports and supports NIF's work on inclusion. Closer cooperation with Special Olympics Norway will strengthen the national work on inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities,” said Inge Andersen, NIF Secretary General.
Special Olympics National Director Geir Smeby said, “The agreement will greatly enhance the activities of Special Olympics Norway.”
'The new NIF leadership, and especially President Tove Paule, has been supportive of Special Olympics changes in Norway over the last year and a half. Special Olympics is looking forward to working with NIF for the benefit of Special Olympics athletes, their families and friends, and for Norwegian sports overall,” said Kai Troll, Director, Organizational Development and Strategic Marketing, Special Olympics Europe/Eurasia.
