This link is the posting for the Special Olympics Indiana, Northeast Regional Manager position. If you know anyone who might be interested please pass this along. The Regional Manager positions are very challenging jobs, they are also extremely rewarding. The Northeast Region cover Lagrange and Steuben counties down to Henry County,
