What's On Tap At The White House Aging Conference
After much speculation on whether, when and how the White House Conference on Aging (WHCOA) would take place, details on the July 13 event are finally starting to emerge.
It will be an invitation-only affair at the White House for up to 200 people, more like a small-group summit than the multi-day conferences with hundreds of delegates that have marked previous once-a-decade gatherings since 1961. That said, the Obama Administration will be webcasting the day’s events, encouraging “watch parties” and providing multiple ways to engage online — as it has for previous events tied to the conference.
Those attending the conference at the White House will include stakeholder groups the WHCOA has been working with, members of Congress, state and local officials who have been working on aging issues and regular citizens (older Americans who’ve written to the conference to share their stories and ideas).
Recommendations to be Released
The goal of the conference is to create a set of policy recommendations and ideas to improve the lives of Americans as they age. Based on input received so far from the regional forums, policy briefs and dozens of webinars and events, the WHCOA will issue on conference day a set of policy recommendations from the administration and legislative proposals.
“After the event,” Nora Super said, “we’ll have a final report that summarizes all of those recommendations, not just focusing on government, but on our private sector partners and the commitments they’ve made to help us move forward on these issues.”
