the 2005 WHCoA
voted to invite 1,200 individuals to serve as delegates
to the 2005
White House Conference on Aging, scheduled to take
place fall 2005 in
Washington, DC. These delegates will vote on resolutions
and develop
implementation strategies to be presented to the President
and the
Congress to help guide national aging policies for
the next decade and
beyond. The 2005 WHCoA will be the fifth in the history
of the United
States and the first of the 21st Century.
DATES: On or before June 1, 2005 for individuals to
self-nominate or to
submit name(s) of other persons wishing to be considered
as delegates
to the WHCoA.
ADDRESSES: Fill out the designated application form
for At-Large
Delegates located on the WHCoA Web site at [http://www.whcoa.gov],
or
you may request an At-Large Delegate Application Form
by calling the
WHCOA at (301) 443-9462 or by e-mail at [Info@whcoa.gov].
Submit your
form by mail to WHCoA, 4350 East-West Highway, Suite
300, Bethesda, MD

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Jarrard on (301)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2005 White House Conference
on Aging is
authorized by the Older Americans Act Amendments of
2000 (Pub. L. 106-
501, November 2000). Specifically, Pub. L. 106-501
states that ``the
delegates shall be selected without regard to political
affiliation or
past partisan activity and shall, to the best of the
appointing
authority's ability, be representative of the spectrum
of thought in
the field of aging. Delegates shall include individuals
who are
professionals, individuals who are non-professionals,
minority
individuals, individuals from low-income families,
representatives of
Federal, state and local governments and individuals
from rural areas.
A majority of such delegates shall be 55 or older.''
The White House
Conference on Aging is also authorized by Pub. L. 106-501
to focus on
issues related to the aging of today and tomorrow,
including the 78
million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964.
As decided on December 1, 2004 by the WHCoA Policy Committee, the
majority of the delegates will represent the following: Governors of
all 50 States,
[[Page 24428]]
the U.S. Territories, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the District
of Columbia; Members of the 109th Congress, and the National Congress
of American Indians. These officials received a letter sent on January
31, 2005 from the Honorable Dorcas R. Hardy, Policy Committee Chairman
of the 2005 WHCoA informing them of their ability to select delegates
and delegate alternates no later than April 15, 2005.
The balance of the delegates (At-Large delegates) will be selected
by the Policy Committee for the 2005 White House Conference on Aging
and will represent national aging and other allied organizations, baby
boomers, academic institutions, business and industry, non-profit,
disability and veterans organizations, and others with a stake in the
aging of America. Because of the tremendous opportunity that the WHCoA
presents for the future of aging policies in our nation, the 2005 WHCoA
is seeking visionary and thoughtful delegates who will make significant
and tangible contributions to this historic event. The WHCoA wishes to
ensure that the delegates represent a broad cross section of the U.S.
population so that the concerns and issues of current as well as future
seniors receive appropriate attention.
The Policy Committee, a 17-member bipartisan Committee appointed by
the President and Congress to implement the 2005 WHCoA, will review and
evaluate each individual who has applied or been nominated to be
considered as a delegate according to established criteria. The Policy
Committee will seek to achieve an appropriate balance by selecting
delegates to fill gaps that may exist after gubernatorial,
congressional and Native American delegate selections are made.
Delegates should anticipate that their time spent in Washington, DC
will be extremely busy, and that their individual and collective
efforts will result in a significant contribution to help shape U.S.
aging policies for the next decade and beyond.
To be considered as an At-Large delegate by the Policy Committee,
please visit the WHCoA Web site at [http://www.whcoa.gov], fill out and
submit the designated application form for At-Large Delegates. You may
also nominate another individual to be considered. You may request an
At-Large Delegate Application Form by calling the WHCOA at (301) 443-
9462 or by e-mail at [Info@whcoa.gov]. You may submit your form by mail
at WHCoA, 4350 East-West Highway, Suite 300, Bethesda, MD 20814 (please
mark envelope At Large Delegate Application) or by fax to (301) 443-
2902. All applications must be received by the WHCoA for consideration
on or before June 1, 2005.
The information requested will be used to select persons to serve
as delegates to the 2005 WHCoA. Furnishing of this information is
voluntary. Failure to do so, however, may result in the denial of
delegate status. Access to the submitted information is limited to the
Policy Committee of the WHCoA. The legal authority for the collection
of this information is Pub. L. 106-501, Title II, November 13, 2000
(Older Americans Act Amendments of 2000) and 5 U.S.C. App. 2 (Federal
