In addition to addressing issues of the current older population, the 2005 White House Conference has a mandate to focus on needs and impact of those individuals born between 1946 and 1964 (baby boomers). White House Conferences on Aging have occurred every decade since 1961. The 2005 WHCoA will be the first of the 21 st Century.
