Office Divvy becomes the 1st in Palm Coast & Flagler County to join Northeast Florida Green Chamber

April 25, 2011 - PRLog -- This Earth Day has an extra special meaning for one Palm Coast Startup Company: Office Divvy ™ became the first company in Palm Coast and Flagler County to join the newly established Northeast Florida Green Chamber.

Northeast Florida Green Chamber (NEFGC) is a chapter of The Green Chamber of the South, which brings together businesses across the Southeast to promote growth, innovation, and success of sustainability.  The vision of NEFGC is to make the First Coast a hub for sustainable business, green development and clean energy. NEFGS is part of the missing piece of the pie needed to continue the march toward a better future for the Northeast Florida community bringing business leaders to the forefront as examples of responsible practice.

The first president of the Northeast Florida Green Chamber is Helen Rake of Collins Capital, a Jacksonville-based federally registered investment advisor.  

Office Divvy ™ co-founder Lisa Schenone Ekinci gives quick background of the relationship with Helen Rake:

“We’ve known Helen Rake for more than two years professionally, and are big fans of Helen.  We supported Helen with her plastic bottle cap collection efforts over the last year, resulting in the collection of over 25 lbs. of plastic caps thanks to our members.  It is through Helen we’ve learned that majority of plastic bottle caps do not get recycled; ending up as litter or trash, and migrating into our rivers and oceans. Birds and marine creatures mistake them for food with tragic results. This creates a significant pollution problem is devastating to our oceans and wildlife.  Our company team and dozens of Office Divvy ™ members supported Helen’s effort, which only strengthened our relationship, now making it easy to follow her leadership and join the Northeast Florida Green Chamber. ”

Based in Palm Coast, Florida, Office Divvy ™ provides Ready-to-Use Offices, Virtual Office Solutions and Outsourced Operations to all business profiles including Startups, Entrepreneurs and Small Business, and runs a successful Coworking in Florida program for professionals, creative and technical folks.  

Office Divvy ™ co-founder Ky Ekinci says:

“City of Palm Coast is well recognized for its green efforts, and we’ve applauded the leadership role our city has played in Florida.  It is now the responsibility of businesses in the Flagler County landscape to step up their game and get serious in their commitment to support green practices and sustainability, and we’re happy to further lead that commitment by joining The Northeast Florida Green Chamber today.”

The Northeast Florida Green Chamber will provide local business owners with education, networking and an easily accessible green supply chain to promote their green business and create a permanent shift toward making the area a hub for sustainable business.  Memberships in NFGC are available through reference, and those interested in membership in the Northeast Florida Green Chamber can contact Lisa Ekinci at 1.888.533.4889 in Flagler County.
