BNI Purpose and Overview

BNI is a business and professional networking organization whose primary purpose is to exchange business referrals. It is the largest networking organization and currently has more than 2,300 chapters with over 49,000 members in 43 states and 12 countries. In a recent year, BNI members passed over 2.1 million referrals, which generated over $727 million worth of business. We operate on the “Givers Gain” philosophy which is those who give business freely to others will benefit in return and get business as well.

About BNI

Networking requires commitment. The most successful chapters 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:

(*) Note: In the event that BNI's general rules could potentially violate a professional's ethical code, the professional's ethics code shall govern.

What You Should Know
  • Only one person from each professional specialty is permitted to join a chapter of BNI.
  • All participants should represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
  • Attendance is critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you may send a substitute. This will not count as an absence.
  • Participation in the chapter by members is a key to the success of a group. Members can participate by bringing bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their BNI chapter.
