Local Business Gains National Recognition
Local Diversity Business Named among Nation’s
Top Minority Business Lists
Herndon, Virginia — In recognition of the economic power
of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading
multicultural internet site, recently named EMW, Inc. as one of
the top minority owned businesses in the United States.
DiversityBusiness.com has gathered lists of participating minority
businesses for the sixth annual listing of the Nation’s top
minority owned businesses. Ranging in annual revenue size
from $1M to over $1B, the companies listed on these lists represent
the Nation’s top multicultural earners and challenge the
long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant.
DiversityBusiness.com members are sought after by major corporations
wishing to increase spending with diversity owned companies.
This year EMW, Inc. made the DiversityBusiness.com lists in the
following notable categories: Top Small Business in Virginia (Div100SmallBiz-2005 – 17th
Place), Top Asian American Owned Businesses in America (Div100ASA-2005 – 96th
Place), Top Diversity Owned Businesses in America (Div500-2005 – 399th
Place), Top Small Businesses in America (Div500SmallBiz-2005 – 442nd
Place).
The Impact of Diversity Business
Major corporations wishing to increase market share realize it
is no longer just “the right thing” to do business
with diversity owned companies. Affected by recent economic
and demographic trends and changes, corporations throughout the
country have recognized that buying products and services from
diversity owned companies positively impacts their business.
Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales
to the U.S. economy.
“Diversity businesses and consumers are a growing force
in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with,” said
Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International,
the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. “It’s
no longer only about the Fortune 1000. This is a whole business
segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and
services, and generates wealth for their communities. These
are the new leaders in American business.”
EMW shares this commitment of empowering our employees through
corporate programs to foster employee development, promotion, certification
and accreditation. Our clients understand our mission and our strong
commitment to the employee and their personal development. Hence,
we are able to show managed and positive corporate growth.
The Div100
The Div100 is a classification that represents the top 100 Asian
American-owned businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology,
manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large
organizational buyers throughout the country that do business
with multicultural and women-owned businesses use the list. The
Div100 is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's
leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational
buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
The winning companies will be honored at a special awards ceremony
at DiversityBusiness.com’s 6thh Annual Multicultural Business
Conference, taking place March 29 – March 31, 2006 at the
MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“The Div100 companies are the heroes of Asian American-owned
business in America,” said Kenton Clarke. “While Fortune
magazine lists the best companies for minorities to work for, we
list the top businesses owned by minorities. These are the people
that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices, building
and strengthening their communities, providing jobs and helping
to keep the fabric of the U.S. economy together.”
