“Partnership.” The word comes up consistently – and insistently – as you talk to Christy Rea, President of Big Green Solutions.

Big Green Solutions develops custom software applications for Web deployment. Among its products is EVE, a global solution that guides every aspect of a company’s internal and external marketing and communications efforts. With EVE, companies can set up work flows, streamline processes, update logos or wording across the board in one stroke, reduce printing costs and minimize legal risks by centrally managing all ads and rights management.

But Big Green is about more than just providing IT solutions. “Partnership is at the core of our business,” Christy affirms. “We don’t employ a transactional approach where you do a job and leave. We believe in remaining partners and continuing to grow with our clients. We invest in the success of our partners.”

Christy joined NAWBO three years ago, and promptly got involved with soliciting and developing corporate partner relationships. For the past two years, she has co-chaired the Corporate Partners committee with Ashley Baptiste. “We are not only involved in seeking new partnerships, but we spend a great deal of time with our current corporate partners to make sure they are getting what they need out of their relationship with NAWBO,” Christy explains. That involves developing innovative programs that the corporate partners can help sponsor, and facilitating relationships between the corporate sponsors and individual NAWBO members.

Christy has a clear vision for the future: “My goal is to leave a legacy at NAWBO of a welcome kit for new members: a package that would contain information on all our corporate partners and how to reach out to them for help in various areas of business growth and development. I want our members to know that they can rely on these corporate partners for assistance as they develop their own companies and careers.”
