  Our Philosophy
  The philosophy of this organization is built upon the idea of Givers Gain. By giving business to others, you will get business in return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of “what goes around, comes around”.
   
  Our Mission
  The mission of BNI is to help members increase their business through a structured, positive, and professional "word of mouth" program that enables them to develop long term meaningful relationships with quality business professionals.
   
  Our Goals
 
  • To educate our member that networking is more about “farming” than is is about “hunting”; it is about cultivating relationships.
  • To have BNI become synonymous with word-of-mouth marketing. When people think of word-of-mouth marketing, they will think of BNI.

  • To provide innovative leadership, direction and support to the Directors, Leadership Team and members of each chapter.
