The AARP will hold a conference on "Beyond 50: Financial Security in a Changing World," on December 11, 2001, at the Georgetown University Research Building auditorium. The conference will explore the new forces impacting financial security for people age 50 and over, including Social Security reform, the role of pensions and savings, continued earnings through work, and health insurance questions.

On February 12, the Cato Institute and the National Black Chamber of Commerce will co-sponsor a conference on "Social Security and African-Americans." The conference will examine whether the current Social Security system is fair to African-Americans, the need to increase saving and investment in the African-American community, and whether a system of individual accounts would help or hurt African-Americans and other minorities. Confirmed speakers include: Harry Alford, Ken Blackwell, Horace Cooper, Kilolo Kijakazi, Star Parker, B.B. Robinson, Darrell Williams, and Robert Woodson.
