M. Joseph Sirgy Endowed Track on Well-Being and Policy
Named for an ISQOLS leader and pioneer in the advancement of the theme of well-being and policy, contributions made to the “M. Joseph Sirgy Endowed Track” will permanently endow a track on “Well-Being and Policy” to be held as part of each ISQOLS international conference program. This track will include as least two sessions consisting of three or more participants whose research activities overlap with the purpose of this endowment.
Sessions organized by each Conference Program Committee will represent topical areas on the theme “Well-Being and Policy.” Such topical areas could be, but are not limited to the development and implementation of policy guided by quality-of-life and well-being research. Policy is defined broadly to include public policy, managerial policy, educational policy, economic policy, public health policy, healthcare policy, etc.
Only the income earned from this Fund will be used to support the endowed track.
