Join Now Before Your Competition Does!
Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, BNI provides a positive, supportive, and structured environment for professionals to further their businesses 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:
* 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 each BNI chapter.
- All participants should represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
- Attendance is critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you should send a substitute.
- 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.
What you should do next:
Attend a meeting of the chapter that interests you.
We’d love to see you downtown, but we realize another San Diego chapter might be more convenient for you, or we may already have someone in your industry in our group.
You’ll never know how valuable BNI can be for your business unless you go to a meeting and check it out!
