Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, Founder & Chairman 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:

* 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:

BNI membership costs only $330 for 1 year, or $510 for 2 years, and can be paid by check, by credit card, or by cash. New members must also pay a one-time registration fee of $100.
