Myler is an advocate for using sport as a means to promote inclusion and social development. Her teaching and research focuses on legal, governance and social issues in Olympic and international sport, including intellectual property, gender and LGBT equality, and ethics. Myler is a member of Art of the Olympians, an international organization that promotes the Olympic values to youth through arts education programs, and is an Ambassador for both Athlete Ally, a nonprofit organization that activates athletic communities to champion LGBT equality, and Kids Play International, which uses sport as a catalyst to promote gender equity in countries impacted by genocide.
Myler recently served on the Olympic Agenda 2020 Working Group on Culture Strategy and lectured at the International Olympic Academy’s Postgraduate Seminar on Olympic Studies. She has also been involved in the governance of Olympic sport on the highest level in the United States. She served on the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Board of Directors and Athletes’ Advisory Council for eight years and was appointed to the USOC’s Ethics and Governance Task Force that developed and led the implementation of significant changes to the USOC’s governance structure. Myler testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection on behalf of the Task Force.
