Good food and great company at our monthly in-person lunch at Duke's Grocery in Potomac! 🍔☀️
BNI Game Changers members spend most of the week helping each other grow, and lunch gives us time to just enjoy each other's company. Meeting in person outside the virtual chapter room is where we learn about each other's families, goals and favorite menu items, and that kind of trust is what keeps referrals coming.
Here's who joined us, from left to right 👇
💵 Sam Gravel | 1st from left Paychex, Payroll Services
Sam makes payroll simple so business owners can get back to running their businesses. If you've ever lost a Friday to payroll, Sam is the person to call.
📊 Chris Arunkumar | 2nd from left Cornerstone Accounting Services, Accounting Chris keeps the numbers clean and the stress low. He's the kind of accountant who explains things clearly and helps you plan ahead instead of just catching up.
🛡️ Eric Smalls | 3rd from left Goosehead Insurance, Property & Casualty Insurance | Chapter Secretary/Treasurer
Eric is known as the 'put-money-back-into-your-pocket-guy' in our chapter. He helps people find the right coverage and keeps Game Changers organized and on track.
🤝 Nawil Gorji | 4th from left | Special Guest from BeHealthy Wellness Coaching
A big shout-out to Nawil, who visited from another BNI Central Maryland chapter! Visits between chapters show what BNI is all about: a regional network of professionals who look out for each other. Thanks for breaking bread with us, Nawil. You're welcome at our table anytime!
⚖️ Jackie Kotei | 5th from left LegalShield, Legal Service Plans | Chapter President Jackie helps families and business owners get affordable legal protection, and she leads our chapter with warmth and purpose. She's the reason a lot of us show up every week ready to give.
🎬 Darryl Felton | 6th from left DarrylScot Studios, Videographer/Film Producer | Events Coordinator Darryl tells stories that make businesses stand out on camera. As our Events Coordinator, he's also behind lunches like this one. Thanks, Darryl!
🏠 Susan Mangan | 7th from left PMI Potomac, Property Management | Education Coordinator
Susan takes the headaches out of owning rental property, and she keeps the rest of us sharp as our Education Coordinator with networking tips every week.
🏡 Nick Genovese | 8th from left Certainty Home Lending, Residential Mortgages | Membership Committee Nick helps families get into their dream homes with clear guidance at every step. On our Membership Committee, he helps us find the right professionals to join our team.
That's eight professionals and one table, all committed to helping each other succeed. That's Givers Gain® in action. 🙌
