November 24, 2003

SOUTHPORT, CT, November 24, 2003/DiversityBusiness.com/ The nation's
leading multicultural B2B online portal, formerly known as DIV2000.com,
today officially announces its new company name, DiversityBusiness.com.
The name change, which aligns keenly with their core business, also
reflects a new era for the company, which continues to leverage an
ever-evolving marketplace for the diversity-owned businesses it
represents.

The Rising Tide of Diversity Businesses
In 1999, when Computer Consulting Associates International CEO Kenton
Clarke launched Div2000.com, he had a vision for a company that would
provide much needed coordination, support and resources for the
ever-expanding pool of diversity-owned businesses. Over the years, his
business has risen to the top of its field - a success measured by the
growth and accomplishments of its member companies. Now, as he leads the
company into 2004, the marketplace for diversity-owned businesses has
exploded, contributing over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy,
and presenting vast opportunities to expand and further integrate the
services offered. Thus while the name Div2000 reflects the roots of
this burgeoning enterprise, the name change to Diversity Business
represents this unparalleled growth and expansion, and a commitment to
meeting the continuing challenges faced by diversity-owned businesses.

Meeting Changing Needs
Through its full-service online portal, DiversityBusiness.com offers the
most comprehensive lineup of resources and tools available to meet the
evolving needs of its clients. Technology-based, online and interactive,
they run the gamut and include: multicultural e-chamber; procurement and
government bid postings; human resources and career center; multicultural
advertising; supplier diversity data management; diversity conference;
strategic partnerships and website consultation, among others.

Our reputation is based on this ability to provide the most effective
services, to adapt, and to rise to the challenge of an ever-changing
marketplace, said Kenton Clarke, CEO. The name change to
DiversityBusiness.com more closely reflects our companys core business,
while giving us room to evolve and grow. What has not changed is our
continued commitment to the business development and success of our
clients, who have invested themselves in the regeneration of their
communities and the American economy as a whole.
