Thanks Missy, this is awesome. Rod, I think outreach to Scott makes the most sense. With the Special Olympics, our initial meeting is with the chief of staff (Shawn Ferguson) to the board chair (Tim Shriver). So, I think it makes perfect sense for Scott to kick this down to the proper person below him. Hallie/Hunter, any other thoughts?
Thanks Missy!

Scott recently told his staff that he has prostate cancer and isn't going to Korea, but in theory he could send us to the right person, if you all thought it made sense to go to him. I don't really even know the Coke team who works on the Olympics, they keep to themselves, but could do some digging if you don't want to go to Scott.

> Missy, hope you’re well! At our board meeting today, we discussed outreach to the US Olympic Committee to help them assess their child protection policies, procedures and programming. As you know, our Shield of Protection Initiative helps youth serving orgs asses these things and improve upon them. Since Coca-Cola is one of (if not the) longest continuous partner of the Olympics, we were wondering if you could help us figure out the right person to talk to about partnering with them to ensure, while they’re taking a hard look at their child protection policies, prevention is a focus. I’ve attached a one pager on the Shield of Protection Initiative for your reference. If you can find us a person to talk to, VBO, RHB and HOB said they’d be a part of the initial outreach (for which Patty and I are incredibly grateful). Clearly there are certain sports that have very few kids participating (can’t imagine there are many 12 year old curlers or bobsledders), but there are many that do, and I’m sure they run training camps for the sports where most of the athletes are over the age of 18. Looking at their senior staff, perhaps the best place to start would be the general counsel (Christopher McCleary) or the HR manager (Pam Sawyer). Patrick Sandusky runs the GR dept. so he may also be a good start. Happy to chat on the phone if you wish.
