Civic Engagement Highlighted at
2004 GSA Annual Meeting
The 2004 GSA Annual Meeting will take place November 19-23rd in
Washington, DC at the Marriott Wardman Park and Omni Shoreham Hotels.
The theme of this year's meeting is Promoting the Health of an Aging
Population.
'Civic Engagement in Later Life,' a special symposium featuring
experts from GSA's new Civic Engagement in an Older America initiative,
will be held on Sunday, November 21, 10:30am-12pm in the Marriott,
