FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. How can I join BNI?
A. The first thing to do is visit a chapter to see a meeting and decide if BNI is right for you.
Q. How do I find a chapter to visit?
A. Go back to the Home page of this website and click “Find a Chapter” in the menu on the left side of the screen. On the Locate a Chapter screen, click “Search” to access a list of chapters in the region. Find a chapter that’s convenient for you to visit, then go!
Q. What if I have more questions?
A. When you visit a chapter you will be given more information about BNI, and the members you meet there will be able to answer questions.
Q. What if someone already represents my profession in the chapter I visit? Can two members represent the same profession?
A. No, BNI allows only one person to represent a particular profession in a chapter.
Q. How can I find out if my profession is already represented BEFORE I visit a chapter?
A. On the Locate a Chapter Screen, instead of clicking “Search, “ click the link below that reads, “Search for an available position within the region.” Choose your profession from the drop-down list then click “Display.”
More information:
1. When you choose a chapter to visit, it would be a good idea to call the chapter president to let the chapter know you’re coming.
2. Be sure to arrive at the meeting on time. The first 15 minutes of the meeting is open networking, which will give you the opportunity to meet the members before the meeting is called to order.
3. Take 30-40 business cards with you to pass out to the members.
4. Every BNI chapter runs on the same 21-point business agenda. The difference in chapter meetings is a difference in the members of the chapter – their personalities and the professions they represent.
5. You will be given a BNI application at the meeting. If you wish to apply for membership, fill out the application and leave it with the chapter. All applications are processed by the chapters.
6. If you have questions, by all means ask – the Leadership Team of the chapter will be glad to give you the answers you need.
7. Visit the BNI international website, www.bni.com, to understand the worldwide scope of this organization.
