🌟 THIS WEEK’S FEATURED PRESENTATIONS! 🌟

Join us this week at BNI Business Connections as we hear from two outstanding professionals who have built their careers around serving others: Elisabeth Ashe of Pashen Health and Fred Henry of SSW Insurance.

🩺 Elisabeth Ashe | Pashen Health

With more than 28 years in healthcare, including 20 years in emergency medicine, Elisabeth has spent her career caring for people when they need it most. As a veteran, service has always been at the heart of what she does.

Today, through Pashen Health, Elisabeth is changing the way patients experience healthcare. Her Direct Primary Care practice focuses on personalized relationships and getting to the root cause of health concerns rather than simply treating symptoms. Pashen Health offers primary care, functional medicine, hormone optimization, medical weight loss, IV therapy and wellness services.

🛡️ Fred Henry | SSW Insurance

Fred’s career has taken him from trim carpentry and remodeling Outback and Carrabba’s locations across Florida, to running a window and door installation company, to becoming a Disney “Dream Creator” — and ultimately finding his calling in insurance.

Fred spent nearly a decade with USAA helping military families protect what matters most. In 2019, he partnered with Daniel White at SSW Insurance Agency, where he continues his mission of “providing insurance the right way” through personal service and customized insurance solutions.

Come learn more about Elisabeth and Fred, the businesses they’ve built, and, most importantly, who you can introduce them to.

🤝 BNI is about relationships, referrals and helping great businesses grow.

We’ll see you at BNI Business Connections!

Shout out to Mercedes Buntz Law for sharing what BNI means to you. “BNI has helped me grow my business, but more importantly, it has helped me grow as a person. I’ve grown in my education, my skills, and my relationships. When you look at the structure of our meetings, the training and resources available to us, and the relationships we build, you realize that growth isn’t accidental in BNI—it’s built into everything we do. So, if you’re interested in growth—professionally and personally—this is the place to be.”

Thank you to Joshua Davidson with Paradigm Technologies sharing your Core Values. I’m choosing Accountability. Over the last couple of months, as I’ve been working with chapters and talking about leadership and the BNI flywheel, I keep coming back to accountability. It’s one of the things that truly differentiates BNI from other networking groups.
