Marching Forward: Celebrating Growth, Fueling the FutureHaving returned home from Houston for the BNI National Conference, I’ve been reflecting on one of the things I value most about this organization—our commitment to lifelong learning. Whether it’s a training, a chapter meeting, or a one-to-one, there’s always something new to learn and someone to learn from. I’m incredibly grateful to be surrounded by leaders like you who embrace growth, support one another, and help build a region where success is shared. This month, we have a lot to celebrate—new members joining our chapters and current members reaching new heights. |

March's Biggest GiversIn March, 14 of our incredible members passed over five figures in Thank You for Closed Business, demonstrating the power of BNI’s referral network. These members exemplify what it means to give and gain, proving that BNI isn’t just worth it—it’s a game-changer for businesses. When people ask if BNI works, numbers like these make the answer clear: the results speak for themselves. |
