Tech 2000 Inc. Gains National Recognition

Local Diversity Business Named and Ranked 64 among Virginia's Top 100 Diversity Owned Business List

Herndon, Virginia January 15, 2008 - In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural internet site, recently named Tech 2000 Inc. as one of the "Top Diversity Owned businesses in the state of Virginia (Div100)".

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

The Impact of Diversity Business

"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."

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.

Carmen Castillo, President of Superior Design International, Inc., Florida commented, "These groups of companies represent the organizational 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."

George Churchwell, CEO, Tech 2000 Inc., "We are honored to be selected in the Top 100 and are proud that we have been able to represent what is possible for Asian Pacific Entrepreneurs."

The Div100

The Div100 is a classification that represents the top 100 diversity-owned (Women, African American, Hispanics, Asians, Native Indian and other minority groups) businesses in the state of Virginia, 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.
