your input as we develop an agenda for the 2005 Conference. How can we 
enable seniors to continue actively participating in and contributing 
to community and national well-being? Looking forward over the next 
decade and beyond, how can we, as individuals, businesses, private 
organizations, and government, in partnership, harness the vast 
potential that exists within an aging America?
    We are particularly interested in the following key issue areas: 
planning along the lifespan, employment, our environment, health and 
long-term living, social engagement, and the marketplace. This 
listening session is open to everyone (no registration fee required). 
Priority will be given to speakers from the Florida Conference on 
Aging, and if time permits, the general public will be offered the 
opportunity to speak. Speakers may register either in advance of the 
listening session or onsite prior to the beginning of the session. 
Speakers will be limited to five minutes maximum although there may be 
follow-up questions from members of the panel; there will be no 
questions taken from the audience. Accompanying written statements will 
be limited to five pages. Speakers will be called to the podium in the
