How to Join

JOIN NOW BEFORE YOUR COMPETITOR DOES!!

Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, Founder & CEO of BNI, the organization 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:

(*) Note: In the event that BNI's general rules could potentially violate a professional's ethical code, the professional's ethics code shall govern.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

Only one person from each professional specialty 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.
Participation in the chapter by members is a key to the success of a group. Members can participate by bringing bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their BNI chapter.

Cost:

There is an annual membership fee. If you apply for membership in BNI, your application will be reviewed by the chapter’s membership committee and you will be notified of the status before the next meeting.
