In recognition of the economic power of privately-held businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading business-to-business internet site, recently named Mayer Electric Supply as number 14 on the list of the 500 largest diversity-owned businesses in the United States.
This is the 9th annual listing of the Nation’s top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com. Companies listed on the Top Business Lists represent the Nation’s multicultural and woman-owned companies and challenge the long-held notion that a privately held business is small or insignificant. “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.”
Nancy Collat Goedecke, Mayer’s Chairman and CEO, added, “We are very pleased to be among the top diversity businesses in America, but we are even more proud that so many of our customers have trusted Mayer as a partner and a supplier to their businesses.”
The winning companies were honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s “9th Annual Multicultural Business Conference” that took place in April in Orlando, Florida.
Goedecke continued, “This recognition goes to the thousands of Mayer associates that have served our customers for almost 80 years and worked hard to earn their trust and their business – it is our associates that have fueled our growth and they will continue to do so.”
