Date:2/1/2008

n more important to understand what women think than right now, and each day, we at iVillage see our community come together to discuss key issues - like healthcare and the economy - that are so critical for all of us," said Linda Boff, Chief Marketing Officer, iVillage. "Today's forum took that dialogue and brought it into the larger conversation."

The interactive issues forum featured a diverse focus group of hundreds of women and nationally recognized panelists, and marked the first of the 50th Anniversary events for AARP. The telephone survey was conducted January 18-20, 2008 with 1,004 respondents nationwide, of which 524 were female.

Complete forum video will be posted later today at http://video.ivillage.com/player/?fid=32464
