SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As the Baby Boom generation approaches
retirement age, it is essential that we evaluate and develop any needed
policies to ensure that this national resource remains a vital part of
society. The 2005 White House Conference on Aging (WHCoA) is seeking
input from a wide array of stakeholders as we develop an overarching
agenda and plan for the 2005 WHCoA. For example, how can we enable both
``rising'' seniors and mature seniors to continue actively
participating in and contributing to personal, 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, better harness the vast potential that exists within an
aging America.
Josefina G. Carbonell,
Assistant Secretary for Aging.
