Washington, DC, January 8, 2008. In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural internet site, recently named Innovim as one of the leading businesses in the District of Columbia (Div100).

The Div100 is the 8th annual listing of the District of Columbia's Top 100 small businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the Nation's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a small business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with small and diversity-owned companies.

• Top 500 Small Businesses in the United States

• 15th on the list of the Top Diversity-Owned Businesses in the District of Columbia
• 11th on the list of the Top Woman-Owned Businesses in the District of Columbia

The Impact of Small Business

"Small 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. "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."

Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from small and diversity owned companies positively impacts their business. Small businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.

The Div100

The Div100 is a classification that represents the top 100 small businesses in the District, 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.

Businesses earning these awards will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com's "8th Annual Multicultural Business Conference", taking place April 23 - 25, 2008 at Disney's BoardWalk Resort in Orlando, Florida.
