Listing the most successful independent small businesses within that region, the Society debuted on the list at No. 98 one year prior, making this a jump by 37 in just one year.

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by Inc. magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the Midwest,” said Leah Smiley, President of The Society for Diversity. “This ranking is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, who are committed to providing our clients with the best possible diversity education and certification solutions.

Companies based in the Chicago, Illinois, Noblesville, Indiana, and Overland Park, Kansas areas had the highest growth rates overall.

“This year’s regional winners represent one of the most exceptional and exciting lists of America’s off-the-charts growth companies. They’re disrupters and job creators, and all delivered an outsize impact on the economy. Remember their names and follow their lead. These are the companies you’ll be hearing about for years to come,” said Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine.
