  BNI is "the referral organization"

Ivan Misner, the Founder of BNI says in the January, 2008 edition of SuccessNet:
"I believe you may not be able to make a world of difference but you can make a difference in the world. BNI has made a difference in the world. We are truly "Changing the Way the World Does Business.

First and foremost, our philosophy of Givers Gain® is powerful and transformational. It focuses on cooperation and collaboration. It involves helping other people; over time, they help you in return. Givers Gain® is an early tradition within our organization that has set us apart from many other groups.

I believe you may not be able to make a world of difference but you can make a difference in the world. BNI has made a difference in the world. We are truly 'Changing the Way the World Does Business."
