*Your Guide to Participating in the 2015 White House Conference on Aging*

*6. July 2015 17:18 by Nora Super |*



With less than a week to go to the 2015 White House Conference on Aging (WHCOA)
on July 13, enthusiasm is building. This White House Conference promises to
be an extraordinary event, with watch parties participating from homes,
community centers, and libraries in every state. We hope that you’re
planning to get involved by watching the livestream and engaging online as
the President and other senior Administration officials headline this
once-a-decade forum.



The White House Conference on Aging is working with older adults, families,
caregivers, advocates, community leaders, and experts in the aging field to
hold watch parties across the country to make this the largest White House
Conference on Aging to date. With people participating far and wide, we
plan to make the day interactive and engaging for those tuning in online.



We encourage all organizations hosting events—whether public or
private—to register
their Watch Party. By registering, watch party hosts will receive the
latest information about the July 13 Conference and a rundown of the best
ways to submit your questions, comments and stories. Public watch parties
will be posted on the Conference website once confirmed. Already, more than
85 public watch parties have been organized.



The White House Conference on Aging is having a national conversation about
how to best address the changing aging landscape in the coming decade. We
need your voice as part of our dialogue and discussion. Host and register
your watch party and be part of history-in-the-making.
