Duluth, GA (PRWE
March 28, 2008 -- Utilities Analyses, Inc. (UAI), a national player in energy program management services (http://www.utilitiesanalyses.com/energy-program-management.htm?utm_source=prweb&utm_medium=onlinepr&utm_campaign=march282008) and utility bill audit (http://www.utilitiesanalyses.com/utility-bill-audit.htm?utm_source=prweb&utm_medium=onlinepr&utm_campaign=march282008), was recently named to the Div100's 8th annual list as one of Georgia's top 100 small businesses. 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. The companies listed on the Div100 are among the nation's top multicultural earners.
The Div100 classification represents the top small businesses in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Major corporations throughout the country that do business with multicultural and women-owned businesses often seek out Div100 members. This year's Div100 award winners will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com's 8th Annual Multicultural Business Conference, April 23 - 25, 2008 at Walt Disney World's Boardwalk Resort in Orlando, Florida.
"We are extremely pleased to receive the Div100 award as one of the top 100 small business in Georgia," said Utilities Analyses Controller Doug Irons. "It is encouraging to be recognized for serving our clients in an excellent fashion while also being sensitive to multicultural values."
A goal of the Div100 list is to challenge long-held notions that a small business is small or insignificant. "Small businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy and are 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 small and diverse companies positively impacts their business. Small businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
