On Thursday, April 2, the 2015 White House Conference on Aging will host a Regional Forum in Seattle, Washington to engage with older Americans, their caregivers, advocates, community leaders and others on the key issues affecting older Americans. It will be a dynamic and important dialogue and you can listen in and participate via the internet. Below is an announcement from the White House Conference on Aging with the details.
The 2015 White House Conference on Aging will highlight the contributions of older adults today and help inform the landscape of aging policy for the future.
The Seattle Regional Forum is an opportunity to hear directly from you on key issues such as ensuring retirement security, promoting healthy aging, providing long-term services and supports, and protecting older Americans from financial exploitation, abuse and neglect.
Working in collaboration with the AARP and the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations, a coalition of more than 70 of the nation’s leading organizations serving older Americans, we want to ensure that your voice is part of our work.
The event is invitation only, however we will be live webcasting the event. So please visit www.hhs.gov/live-3 at 8:30 am MST on April 2 to view the live stream.
We also have set up a mechanism on our website for individuals, organizations, coalitions and others to submit comments, share stories, and provide thoughts about the issues. We value the input and ideas of older adults, their families, stakeholders, and others, and we think it is an essential part of the Conference process.
