It’s nearly time for the inaugural Healthy Building Policy Summit. Presented by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) in partnership with Georgetown University’s Global Cities Initiative, the full-day event on Sept. 16 is dedicated to exploring the critical role of policy in shaping the future of how we can support and enhance human health, wellbeing, and equity in buildings.
The event kicks off with a morning plenary by Jason Hartke, executive vice president of external affairs and advocacy for IWBI, and Dean Maria Cancian of Georgetown University, followed by a full day of thought-provoking and educational presentations on topics like:
- The future of work
- What policymakers need to know about indoor air
- Advancing human health and sustainability together
- Modernizing and improving schools
“I look forward to participating in the Healthy Building Policy Summit and highlighting the critical importance of meeting modern health, safety, and resilience standards in America’s public school facilities,” said Mary Filardo, executive director of the 21st Century School Fund and a mainstage speaker. “Modernizing our nation’s public school buildings and grounds will bring better learning outcomes, advance the well-being of millions of students, teachers and administrators; and ensure resilience for our communities. This involves tremendous work, but work that we are fully capable of doing.”
