Twenty-three representatives from the MENA region will take part in the event meant for the election of a member of the international advisory council, and the chairman and new members of the MENA advisory council.
       
    The event will focus on the region's recommendations and proposals related to the 2011-2015 strategic plan of Special Olympics International Global Congress, scheduled June 6-10 June in Marrakech.

    It will also touch on the activities of MENA Special Olympics, as well as the promotion of cooperation between regional sports partners.

    The MENA's action plan is aimed at increasing the number of athletes, improving the quality of services offered to members, and developing the technical skills of supervisors and coaches.

    Morocco hosted in April 2008 a meeting of Special Olympics International, held under the patronage of HM King Mohammed VI and under the presidency of Princess Lalla Amina.
