Lynx-Consulting, Inc. has been certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by Astra Women’s Business Alliance and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), founded in 1997, is the nation's leading advocate of women-owned businesses as suppliers to America's corporations and the US government.

According to Lynx-Consulting’s President, Christine Braelow “obtaining a WBENC certificate was a milestone for our company. We were rigorously scrutinized to make sure that we met their high standards and are pleased to be counted amongst the other firms who are WBENC certified. The certification has opened additional avenues of potential business and helped to initiate new conversations with our customers.”

The WBENC certification supports the changing demographics in business today by forming a bridge between small female owned/operated businesses and large corporations and government entities. It is the first step in enabling firms such as Lynx-Consulting to participate in supplier diversity programs and to potentially gain market share.

Corporate customers also benefit by working with WBENC certified firms. Doing so helps them to meet their business needs and fulfill their diversity goals.
