The Business of Wellness
Wellness is always evolving—and some of the best ideas may already be within our own community. Join Wellness Committee Co-Chairs Tita Arroyo and Cherish Hicks for an evening designed to bring together members, wellness professionals, entrepreneurs, and curious minds around what’s next in health and well-being. Share a business, introduce an idea, or pitch an experience you’d love to see come to life at the Club. From fitness and nutrition to longevity, beauty, recovery, mindfulness, healthy living, and beyond, the evening is an opportunity to exchange expertise, discover new concepts, and make meaningful connections across the wellness space. Enjoy light bites and a wellness-inspired welcome beverage as ideas move around the room, conversations take shape, and the Committee gets a firsthand look at the experiences our community wants more of. Selected concepts may inspire future Wellness Committee programming and activations at the Club! Have something to share? Come ready with a brief introduction to your business, concept, or proposed experience—and why you think it would resonate with the Metropolitan community. No pitch required to attend. Come to connect, discover, and be part of the conversation shaping wellness at the Club.
