everse corporation selected as a Top Owned Business by DiversityBusiness.com

LOS ANGELES, Nov 17, 2004 – In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural B2B online portal, recently named everse as one of the top 500 diversity–owned businesses in the United States and top 100 in the state of California.

The Div500 is the 5th annual listing of the Nation’s top 500 diversity–owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $8 million to over $1.8 billion, the companies listed on the Div500 represent the Nation’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long–held notion that a diversity–owned business is small or insignificant. The Div500 is a classification that represents the top 500 diversity–owned (women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Indian and other minority groups) businesses in the U.S., 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 winning companies will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s 5th Annual Multicultural Business Conference, taking place March 30 – April 2, 2005 at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

According to everse CEO James Sung, “We are honored to be a recognized by DiversityBusiness.com and feel especially more responsible towards building a cross–cultural team that brings diverse perspectives to our business. We will continue to contribute in various ways for the community and fuel entrepreneurship within the company.“

“The Div500 companies are the heroes of diversity–owned business in America,“ said Kenton Clarke. “While Fortune magazine lists the best companies for minorities to work for, we list the top businesses owned by minorities. These are the people that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices, building and strengthening their communities, providing jobs and helping to keep the fabric of the U.S. economy together.
