Wilton sat down with Tony Wyllie, the president and managing director of the Special Olympics in North America.
Wyllie is tasked with enhancing and promoting the Special Olympics programs in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Before this latest move in his career, Wyllie spent many years in public relations and communications for the National Football League. He has worked with the Dallas Cowboys, the then St. Louis Rams, the Tennessee Titans, the Houston Texans and the Washington Football Team.
Each role, according to Wyllie, helped him for the position of where he is today and the ability to serve as mentor to many in the media and journalism field.
