BNI is a business and professional networking organization that gathers one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter and builds strong trust relationships with these members that result in successful business opportunities.

With over 82,000 Members in 4,175+ chapters in 29 Countries worldwide, BNI is "The World's Largest Professional Referral Organization". Last year, members of BNI passed over 3.3 million referrals... which generated over 1.7 billion dollars (U.S.) worth of business for the members!

The following is our very important Code of Ethics that we each attest to upon membership and use to guide ourselves in BNI. The chapter membership committee uses these quidelines as the basis for determining the value of each member to the chapter.

1. I will provide the quality of services at the prices that I have quoted.

2. I will be truthful with the members and their referrals.

3. I will build goodwill and trust among members and their referrals.

4. I will take responsibility for following up on the referrals I receive.

5. I will display a positive and supportive attitude with members of my chapter.

6. I will live up to the ethical standards of my profession.

Interested in Membership?

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.

There is an annual fee for participation, and most recover that with the first good sale. 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 within two weeks.
