OMEGA WORLD TRAVEL NAMED TO 2008 TOP BUSINESS
LIST BY DIVERSITYBUSINESS.COM
FAIRFAX,
Va. – May 4, 2009 - Omega World Travel (Omega) was recently honored
as one of the top diversity businesses by DiversityBusiness.com at the
9th Annual Multicultural Business Conference held April 29 – May
1, 2009 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Florida.
Omega has distinguished itself consistently as a woman-owned business
and a leader in the travel industry. This is the eighth consecutive year
that Omega has been named to the Top Business List. Omega’s president
and CEO Gloria Bohan champions a corporate philosophy centered on the
value of a diverse workforce working along side other diverse businesses
that are committed to bringing a fresh vision and new opportunities to
their business community.
“Every company receiving this recognition represents the true entrepreneurial
spirit – one that is rooted in enthusiasm, creativeness and commitment.
If you look at the list of winners you’ll gain insight into the
riches that spring from diverse cultures, diverse employees, diverse customers
and diverse communities” said Bohan. “Together we are able
to fuel success and keep moving forward.”
The annual listing of the top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com represents
the Nation’s top multicultural earners and challenges 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 and diverse 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.”
