This is the 9th annual listing of the Washington, DC top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com. The companies listed on the Top Business Lists represent the Nation’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a privately held business is small or insignificant. Winners are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with small businesses.
“Entrepreneurs 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.”
As Graham Staffing Services, Inc. celebrates its 25th year in business, this is an award that is very much appreciated by all Graham employees. “Twenty five years ago, I saw a need for a loyal, honest, and customer focused staffing agency in DC,” says Ruth Graham, President and Founder of Graham Staffing Services, Inc. “I wanted to establish a firm that was known for its honesty and dependability and was well respected in the staffing industry.”
The List
This List is a classification that represents the top small businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services.
