Local Business Gains National
Recognition Third Year In A Row
Maple
Grove, Minnesota, December 2005.
In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses,
DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural B2B online
portal, recently awarded Ideal System Solutions, Inc. with five
awards. Ideal was listed as one of the top 500 diversity-owned
businesses in the United States, top Hispanic American-owned, and
top women-owned business in America. Along with these national
awards, Ideal System Solutions, Inc. was also awarded top 50
diversity-owned business and top small business in the State of
Minnesota.
The Div500 is the 6th
annual listing of the nation’s top 500 diversity-owned businesses.
Ranging in revenue size from $12 million to over $1.8 billion, the
companies listed on the Div500 represent the nation’s top
multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a
diversity-owned business is small or insignificant.
The
Power of Diversity Business.
It is no longer just “the
right thing” to do business with diversity suppliers. Affected by
recent economic and demographic trends and changes, corporations
throughout the country are realizing that diversity in suppliers
positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses
contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
The winning companies will
be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s 6th
Annual Multicultural Business Conference, taking place March 29 –
March 31, 2006 at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Kenton
Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, said,
“The Div500 companies are the heroes of diversity-owned business in
America, 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.”
