Mission

Baby Boomers - 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 reassess aging in America and focus on the lives of older Americans. White House Conferences on Aging (WHCoA) are decennial events designed to develop recommendations for additional research and action in the field of aging. Over the course of the 20th century, approximately 35 conferences carrying the name of the White House have been held.

Yet only the White House Conference on Aging has been held more than twice. With a tradition of diversity in participants, focus, and interests, each of the White House Conferences on Aging has had an impact on aging policies in this country.

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 reassess aging in America and focus on the lives of older Americans.

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