The Global Wellness Summit has created the Susie Ellis Scholarship for Equity in Wellness scholarship to promote equity and inclusion in the wellness industry. The scholarship was announced at the Global Wellness Summit and is funded thanks to Katrine and Bill Formby, Jill and Rick Stollmeyer, Lynne and Victor Brick, and the Szekely Family Foundation. The fund aims to create more inclusivity at the annual wellness event by providing financial assistance to a member of an underserved population to join the conference each year, ultimately empowering recipients to return to their local communities and become leaders in the wellness industry. The scholarship will cover the recipient’s travel, hotel, and registration, and the application process to nominate candidates will launch Q1 2022 for next year’s Summit taking place in Tel Aviv, Israel, from Oct. 30–Nov. 2. The scholarship is named for Susie Ellis, GWS Chair and CEO.
