Join Now Before Your Competitor Does!
Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, Founder & CEO of Business Network Int'l., BNI provides a positive, supportive, and structured environment for men and women to further their business through word of mouth marketing.
Networking requires commitment. The most successful chapters of BNI are comprised of participants who are sincerely committed to helping one another through networking. They are a team. As a participant in BNI, you are responsible for complying with the policies and guidelines of the organization. A partial list of the policies of BNI are listed below:
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
- Only one person from each profession is permitted to join a chapter of BNI.
- All participants should represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
- Attendance is critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you may send a substitute. This will not count as an absence.
- Participants are required to bring bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their chapter of BNI.
All members are expected to adhere to a strict code of ethics. Click here for more info.
How to Join:
Visit a local BNI chapter and after the meeting, ask any member of the leadership team for an application form. If you apply to participate in BNI, your application will be reviewed by the chapter's membership committee, and you will be notified of the status of your application before the next meeting. Any business person is welcome to attend a BNI chapter meeting as a visitor.
