been the first event of its kind, Freeman Associates and The Leader's
Edge brought together White and African-American executive women from
corporations throughout the greater Philadelphia area to discuss their
issues, similarities and differences, and suggest solutions for how
they might bridge the gaps between them.

-- Some of the top line issues included:

issues of the other. King will advise on the design of and
endorse the Billie Jean King Fitness + Tennis Center, located exclusively at
RainbowVision Palm Springs."

cases, this may be attributable to discomfort with the
issue of race.
