CDG Named Top Business in Two National and One Statewide Categories
Local Business Named among Nation's Top 500 and Texas' Top 100 by Div500 and Div100 for Diversity and Women-Owned (US) and for Diversity (State)

In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural B2B online portal, recently named CDG a top business in three categories: one of the top 500 diversity-owned businesses, one of the top 500 Women-Owned businesses in the United States, and one of the top 100 diversity-owned businesses in Texas.

The Div500 is the 5th annual listing of the Nation's top 500 diversity-owned and also the Nation's top 500 women-owned businesses, ranging in revenue size from $6 million to over $1.8 billion. The Div100 is the 5th annual listing of the State's top 100 diversity-owned businesses, ranging in revenue size from $5 million to over $300 million. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the State's top multicultural earners, while the Div500 represent the Nation's top multicultural earners, and they challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant.

The Power of Diversity Business.
It is no longer just "the right thing" to do business with diversity suppliers. 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 5000, or the Fortune 1000. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs and valuable products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders of American business."

"Our longstanding commitment to our clients, to our ethical standards, and to supporting our community, has enabled us provide exceptional client satisfaction for over seventeen years," says Cynthia Driskill, CEO and founder of CDG.
