| The WHITE HOUSE
CONFERENCE ON AGING 2005 took place in Washington,
DC on December 13, 2005. Delegates were asked
to select 50 resolutions from a list of 73.
The original list was developed in the weeks
and months leading up to the WHCoA. That list
can be viewed at http://www.whcoa.gov/about/resolutions/Resolutions.pdf
What is important about the resolutions
is that they help form the strategy for
lawmakers in developing policy going forward
regarding and affecting Boomers and Seniors.
The site above lists all the resolutions
and the issues behind the resolutions.
The two that are vitally important for
Boomers over 50 and young Seniors are Resolutions
11 and 12. They deal solely with the issues
of age discrimination and training for older
workers. Many of these topics and issues
have been raised on the Gen
Plus blog and is the focus of the Gen
Plus work site.
