“We know that convening in unique, engaging ways inspires our global community and brings opportunities to continue the momentum of the healthy building movement,” said Kimberly Lewis Inkumsah, Executive Vice President, Equity, Engagement and Events, IWBI. “I’m eager to advance IWBI’s mission of creating people-first places through the WELL Summit experience, including outdoor programming, technical training and presentations that will earn attendees CEUs and tapping into the overall power of face-to-face engagement.”
“I am thrilled to join IWBI at the WELL Summit this September, an important moment to gather together and build momentum for people-first places,” said Dr. Richard Carmona. “The need to focus on human health across all the places where we spend most of our time has never been more critical.
