Local Business Gains National Recognition
12/12/06
Local Diversity Business Named among Minnesota's Top 50


Minneapolis, MN, December 12, 2006 In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural internet site, recently named Nexpro Professional Diversity Group as one of the "Top 50 diversity-owned businesses in the state of Minnesota (Div50)".

Nexpro ranked 45th in The Div50 is the 7th annual listing of the Minnesota's top 50 diversity-owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $1,000,000 to over $186,000,000, the companies listed on the Div50 represent the state's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant. Div50 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with diversity owned companies.

The Impact of Diversity Business
Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 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. 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."

Gloria Bohan, CEO of Omega World Travel in Fairfax, Virginia commented
"This group represents the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our economy and even more. It offers insights into a vastness of cultures and an exchange of ideas that are so valuable in helping me to understand how to reach the needs of today's consumers".


Business Success Requires Diversity Because the World has Changed.
"Our mission is deeply-rooted in encouraging companies to embrace diversity when it comes to their personnel and executive-level needs," said Julia Zimmer, President and CEO, Nexpro Professional Diversity Group. "Being recognized by DiversityBusiness.com in three areas that we feel so passionately about further validates our business objectives and core strengths as a woman-owned, small business in Minnesota focused on diversity initiatives."

The Div50
The Div50 is a classification that represents the top 50 diversity-owned (Women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Indian and other minority groups) businesses in Minnesota, 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 Div50 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 œthh Annual Multicultural Business Conference", taking place April 11 - 13, 2007 at the Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada.
