Diversity Business Names Information Experts a Top Business for 2009

RESTON, VIRGINIA, April 20, 2009—DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading business-to-business internet site, has named Information Experts as one of the top businesses in the United States.

In its 9th year, the purpose of the DiversityBusiness.com Top Business List is to recognize the economic power of privately held businesses. Companies listed represent the nation’s top multicultural earners, challenging the long-held notion that privately held businesses are small or insignificant. Winners are often sought by major corporations wishing to promote small businesses.

“Entrepreneurs 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.”

“As CEO of an organization that embraces and celebrates diversity, I am especially proud that Information Experts has been recognized as one of the top U.S. businesses by DiversityBusiness.com,” said Marissa Levin, founder and CEO of Information Experts. “Small businesses are the backbone of our economic system, and Information Experts is a shining example of the innovation, creativity, responsiveness, customer service, and executive commitment that small businesses bring to the table. We are grateful that DiversityBusiness.com recognizes this tremendous value.”

Information Experts will be among the winning companies honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s “9th Annual Multicultural Business Conference,” April 29 – May 1, 2009, at the Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Florida.
