it is commonly referred to, is comprised of highly respected
organizations which have differentiated themselves in the
marketplace by providing opportunities to women- and minority-owned
businesses. Avis Budget Group is the only car rental company on the

providing opportunities to diverse business owners.”
This year’s Div50 was based on a survey of more than 1.5 million
