Please join me in welcoming one of our newest members to BNI Sound Networking, Darby Palmer, Sales Associate with Leon's in Owen Sound.

Whether you're buying your first home, replacing the couch that's seen better days, upgrading a mattress, or finally getting that new dining room set — everyone needs furniture at some point!

Darby is here to help make that process easier, from finding the right piece for your space to helping you understand the options available.

So when you hear someone say, “We need a new couch,” “I need a better mattress,” or “We're furnishing our new place,” think Darby.

Everyone needs furniture — so let's help everyone know Darby!

Welcome to BNI, Darby!

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Brad Sproxton, a valued member of the BNI Simcoe Advantage Chapter, where he proudly held the Commercial Insurance seat since 2023.

Brad was the kind of person who made an immediate impression on everyone he met. Known for his warm smile, positive energy, and genuine kindness, he had a remarkable ability to light up every room he entered. His generosity extended far beyond business, as he consistently supported the chapter's not-for-profit initiatives and contributed to many fundraising efforts for members' children and families.

Those who knew Brad will remember him not only for his professionalism, but for his caring nature, willingness to help others, and the lasting relationships he built within the community.

He will be deeply missed by the many lives he touched.

Memorial Visitation
Thursday, August 20, 2026
5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Taylor Funeral Home
524 Davis Drive, Newmarket

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Brad's loved ones during this difficult time.

Rest peacefully, Brad. Your kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.

Why Choose BNI?

In a world full of networking events, BNI stands out for one simple reason, it’s built on relationships, not transactions.

This isn’t about handing out business cards and hoping for the best. It’s about building a trusted network of professionals who actively look for opportunities to refer business to you. The philosophy is simple: Givers Gain®. When you focus on helping others grow, your business grows with it.
What makes BNI different is the structure and consistency. Weekly meetings, accountability, and one seat per profession create an environment where you’re not competing, you’re collaborating. Over time, that builds credibility, trust, and real business results.

It’s also a place to sharpen how you communicate what you do. You learn how to clearly define your ideal client, speak with confidence, and position your services so others can refer you effectively.

For me, it’s more than networking, it’s community. It’s surrounding yourself with people who understand the value of connection, support, and long-term growth.
If you’re serious about growing your business through relationships, not just visibility… BNI is worth exploring.
