WHCoA Policy Committee Votes to Approve Resolutions

On November 22, 2005, the WHCoA Policy Committee voted unanimously to approve 73 resolutions to send to the WHCoA delegates for their review. These resolutions are based on public input solicited by the WHCoA over the past 15 months from testimony and reports submitted at nearly 400 Listening Sessions, Solutions Forums, Mini-Conferences, and Independent Aging Agenda Events as well as general public input that has been received by the WHCoA. Though these resolutions reflect diverse opinions and are not specifically endorsed by the Policy Committee, the Policy Committee believes that they accurately reflect the emerging issues, interests, and concerns of individuals who participated in these events as well as the unsolicited input from across the country.

Delegates will be asked to vote on up to 50 resolutions and develop implementation strategies that they believe are the most important for current and future generations of seniors.
