Worktank in Washington's Top 50 Diversity Businesses

SEATTLE -- In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural B2B online portal, named Worktank Creative Media as one of the top 50 diversity-owned businesses in Washington.

The Div50 is the fifth annual listing of the state's top 50 diversity-owned businesses. 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.

The Power of Diversity Business

Doing business with diversity suppliers is no longer just the "right thing to do." 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.

"Diversity businesses 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 500. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own weight, that provides jobs and valuable products and services, and that generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders of American business."

About the Div50

The Div50 is a classification that represents the top 50 diversity-owned (women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native American, and other minority groups) 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 Div50 is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com (formerly Div2000.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 fifth annual Multicultural Business Conference taking place March 30-April 2, 2004 at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
