We're Looking for a Few Good Members

Bel Air BNI is looking for the following professionals to whom they can refer business. We invite you to attend a meeting so you can learn more about the organization and find out if you would be interested in generating a steady source of referral business for yourself. We meet at the Open Door Cafe from 7:30 AM until 9 AM every Wednesday (except holidays). See our Home page for directions.

Please note that we allow only one member per profession. If interested, the best way to lock out your competitors is simply to attend a meeting and submit your application. For questions, call the contact(s) shown below.

What You Should Know

Prospective Members are permitted to attend two meetings prior to making a commitment. 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:

• Only one person from each profession 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
• Participants are required to bring real referrals and/or visitors to their chapter of BNI

Cost:
There is a one-time application fee of $100 (as of October 2007). Membership fees (currently $330) are paid annually. Our chapter has a breakfast fee of $10/week. (This goes directly to pay the group's breakfast bill.) If you apply to participate in BNI, your application will be reviewed by the chapter's membership committee, and you will be notified of the status before the next meeting.
