Members Aetna and Kodak Sponsor 'Out&Equal' Conference
By John de la Roche, AIS/Production Services, member
of Angle (Aetna Network of Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual &
Transgender Employees)
Tennis
legend Billie Jean King was among the keynote speakers
at the 14th annual "Out&Equal" conference
held last month in Phoenix. Aetna, and Eastman Kodak,
corporate sponsors of the event, joined other large
corporate sponsors, including IBM, Intel, SC Johnson,
Raytheon and Motorola to host nearly 800 supporters
for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality
in the workplace. King has spearheaded the cause of
equal treatment for all people in her career and continues
to speak out for equality.
Aetna
supports these corporate efforts and has been recognized
for the third consecutive year by Human Rights Campaign
Foundation, a Washington-based advocacy group. Once
again, Aetna achieved a 100 percent score on the corporate
equality index, which measures treatment of GLBT employees,
consumers and investors. Aetna is one of many companies
that offer domestic partner benefits to same-sex partners
and their households.
