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,

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, nonprofit, 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.
