The Common Source Gains National Recognition
Local Women Business Named and Ranked 95 among Texas’s Top 100 Women Owned Business List
Houston, TexaS, April 23, 2008 - In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural internet site, recently named The Common Source as one of the Top 2007 businesses in the state of Texas (Div100)”.
The Div100 is the 8th annual listing of the Texas’s top 100 women-owned businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the Texas’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a women-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with women owned companies.
The Impact of Women Owned Business
“Women 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 women 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”.
The Common Source has “raised the bar” with respect to the level of quality the legal and document management industry can expect!
