ALOM Gains National Recognition

In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural internet site, recently named ALOM as one of the “Top 500 Woman Owned businesses in the United States (Div500)”.

The Div500 is the 7th annual listing of the Nation’s top 500 Woman Owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $5 million to over $1.3 billion, the companies listed on the Div500 represent the Nation’s top Woman Owned earners and challenge the long-held notion that a Woman Owned business is small or insignificant. Div500 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with Woman Owned businesses.

The Impact of Diversity 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. Small and Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.

“Woman Owned 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.”

Gloria Bohan, CEO of Omega World Travel in Fairfax, Virginia commented “This group represents the entrepreneurial 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”.

“Women-owned businesses have a significant impact on the economy and the business world,” said ALOM CEO Hannah Kain. “We are seeing many female decision makers in our customer and vendor base.”
