2005 White House Conference on Aging; Notice of Policy Committee 
Listening Sessions for Presentations by Members of the Leadership 
Council of Aging Organizations

    Pursuant to section 10(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act as 
amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), notice is hereby given of the following 
meetings.
    The listening sessions will be open to the public, with attendance 
limited to space available. Due to building security requirements, 
please call Nora Andrews, 202-357-0149 to register your intent to 
attend.
    The first of the three listening sessions falls under the 15-day 
notification requirement due to scheduling requirements; however, 
participants may choose to attend any one of the three listening 
sessions.
    Summary: As the Baby Boom generation approaches retirement age, it 
is essential that we develop policies to ensure that this national 
resource remains a vital part of society. The 2005 White House 
Conference on Aging needs 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. Speakers from 
the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations 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 from speakers are encouraged and will 
be limited to a maximum of five pages. Selected speakers may be 
contacted by Conference staff and asked to elaborate on their 
presentations, or asked to or provide additional written materials.
    Contact Person: Members to the Leadership Council are requested to 
register as soon as possible, but not later than one week before the 
session, by e-mail to [email protected], stating name, organization, 
very brief description of the organization's purpose, mailing address,
