Asocia Group Named To Nation's Top Diversity Business List for 2009


Atlanta,Georgia. In recognition of the economic power of privately held businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading business-to-business internet site, recently named Asocia Group as one of the top businesses in the United States.

This is the 9th annual listing of the nation's top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com. The companies listed on the Top Business Lists represent the Nation's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a privately held business is small or insignificant. Winners are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with 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."

"We are honored to have received this award for the last two consecutive years, and withstanding a challenging economy as well." said Cynthia Coker, CEO of Asocia Group. "We believe our continued commitment to excellence and our industry expertise truly distinguish us and help to maintain an exclusive market position for Asocia. As a woman-owned organization (WBENC), we are especially proud to continue to represent the diversity business sector as a leader in our industry. We strive to continually provide outstanding services to our clients, and to also do our part of providing jobs in today's economy and, hopefully, making a positive impact in people lives."

The List
This List is a classification that represents the top small 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, small and women-owned businesses use the list. The List 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 "9th Annual Multicultural Business Conference", taking place April 29 - May 1, 2009 at the Disney's Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Florida.
