| Started
in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder and CEO 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:
| 1. Only one person from
each profession is permitted to join a chapter of BNI. |
 |
| 2. All participants
should represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business. |
| |
| 3. Attendance is
critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you may send a substitute. This will not count
as an absence. |
| |
| 4. Participants are
required to bring bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their chapter of BNI. |
