BNI is the largest business networking organization in the world. We offer members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they take out your card and recommend you. It's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr. Ivan Misner, called "Givers Gain." If I give you business you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result. Last year alone, members of BNI passed 5.5 million referrals which generated over $2.2 billion dollars (U.S.) worth of business for its members. BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter.
