About the Conference

The White House Conference on Aging occurs once a decade to make aging policy recommendations to the President and Congress, and to assist the public and private sectors in promoting dignity, health, independence and economic security of current and future generations of older persons.

The 2005 White House Conference on Aging occurs as the first wave of the baby boom generation prepares for retirement, creating an important opportunity to creatively assess aging in America and improve the lives of older Americans.

Please join us as we prepare for the first White House Conference on Aging of the 21st Century!

The Final Report of the 2005 White House Conference on Aging (WHCoA) was approved to be transmitted by the Policy Committee of the WHCoA by voice vote on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 on a Conference call that was open to the public. The Final Report will consist of a narrative that contains an Executive Summary, a list of the 50 resolutions adopted by the delegates along with the strongest and strong implementation strategies suggested by the delegates who attended individual implementation strategy sessions on a particular topic at the WHCoA. The narrative will also include a listing of the names of all the delegates, as well as the names of the members of the Policy Committee and Advisory Committee. An Appendix (in CD format) will follow the narrative. It will include all of the Resolutions and Implementation Strategies developed by the Delegates in breakout sessions they elected to attend as well as all the proceedings from the WHCoA and pre-WHCoA events and other WHCoA-related information. The 2005 White House Conference on Aging took place December 11 to 14, 2005 in Washington, D.C.

Staff have compiled the large number of documents and materials, as outlined by the Policy Committee including historical documents and all the implementation strategies suggested by the delegates, for inclusion in the Final Report and are working with a graphics company to prepare it for printing and dissemination to the President, the Congress and the delegates as soon as possible. The report will also be posted on the WHCoA website.
