Policy Committee
The White House Conferences on Aging
have convened every 10 years and have served as catalysts
for aging policy for more than 40 years. The Conferences
have prompted the establishment of key initiatives for
older persons and influenced societal changes in the private
and public sectors on retirement, health care, transportation,
housing, and economic security.
On May 19, the President and Members of Congress completed
their selection of 17 members of the Policy Committee for
the White House Conference on Aging. The Honorable Dorcas
R. Hardy, former Commissioner of Social Security, was appointed
the chairman of the Committee.
