How To Join

Join Now Before Your Competitor Does

Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, Founder & 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:

What you should know

• Only one person from each profession is permitted to join a chapter of BNI. The good news is that the Boru start-up Chapter is at a very early stage, so there are plenty of spare categories.
• All participants should represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
• Attendance at the weekly meetings is critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you may send a substitute. This will not count as an absence. BNI can help you identify a suitable substitute, if you’re stuck.
• Participants are required to bring bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their chapter meetings. BNI provides training and mentoring to new members to help them with the process of understanding how to find referrals, and identify and invite visitors.
