The Power of BNI Referral Networking
"Emails and tweets by themselves don't generate the same level of trust that one face to face meeting can create." Watch the below clip taken from the Nightly Business Report on PBS to find out how BNI is benefitting its members despite our current economy. As many BNI participants like to say "We refuse to partipate in a recession!"

Member Testimonal
I started my grant writer consultant business in 2016 and immediately knew I needed a unique and special way to market my business. I am a Certified Grant Writer ® with the American Grant Writers Association and have been an active member of BNI since 2017. I joined BNI to market my firm but I've stayed all these years because of the incredible relationships I've established. I embrace BNI's Givers Gain®, which is not only a great way to get business; it’s an even better way to do business. As a professional grant writer, my work with nonprofits nationwide is critical to advancing each organization's mission and I rely on my relationships with my chapter members to be successful.
