Last Wednesday, we celebrated a VERY special membership renewal! 🎉

Alicia Clifford-Sturges, owner-operator of Clifford Insurance Center, has committed to setting the pace for another year!

Alicia is a relatively new Pacesetter, but boy, you sure wouldn’t know it. She has already made such an impact that our chapter voted her in as our incoming President! Her term officially begins October 1st, and we could not be more excited for the next season of Pacesetters under her leadership. 👏

This photo represents the passing of the torch from our current President, Adam Nye with Jettastone LLC, to our new fearless leader.

And we have to take a minute to give Adam the recognition he deserves. For the past 10 months, he has poured an incredible amount of time, energy, and heart into this chapter. He has led by example, supported every one of us, kept us moving forward, and somehow made a very demanding role look easy.

Adam has left some HUGE shoes to fill, and we are a stronger chapter because of his leadership. Simply put, the man is one heck of a Pacesetter and one heck of a guy. 💚

Thankfully, Alicia has the chops, the heart, and the drive to carry that torch forward. Congratulations on your renewal and your upcoming presidency, Alicia... and thank you for everything, Adam, from all of us!

David with Shade Masters USA won Best 45-Second Pitch this morning! 🏆

He nailed the assignment, nailed his timing down to the SECOND... and he wasn’t even reading from a script. Impressive stuff!

His ask? An introduction to Ruth Dyer with Finishing Touch Home Decor.

SPECIFIC is terrific! 🎯

Anyone know Ruth? Hook her up with David! He would be a great referral partner for anyone redecorating their own home or helping clients do the same.

Great job, Dave!

And speaking of interior decorating... our Interior Decorator seat in Pacesetters is currently open. 👀

Come grow your business, build real relationships, and make connections that count with Pacesetters!

Wow... July is already over! 😳🎉

Before we flip the calendar, it’s time to celebrate the Pacesetters ladies who had birthdays this month:

🎂 Danielle with Sally Love Real Estate
🎂 Kristine with Primerica

Brandon with All American Cleaning & Restoration and Juan with Juan’s 360 Painting also celebrated birthdays this month... but they didn’t want to crowd the picture. 😂

Last week, we officially welcomed Vladislav with American Dream Kitchen Design as the newest member of BNI Pacesetters! 👏

During every new member induction, we raise our right hands and promise:

• To provide quality service at the prices we quote
• To be truthful with our fellow members and their referrals
• To build goodwill and trust among members and their referrals
• To follow up on the referrals we receive
• To display a positive and supportive attitude
• To live up to the ethical standards of our professions

Those aren’t just words we say. They’re the foundation of how we do business, build relationships, and represent ourselves and one another in the community.

Vlad raised his hand and said, “I will.” Now he’s officially one of us!

Help us welcome Vlad and American Dream Kitchen Design to the Pacesetters! 🔨🏠

Last Wednesday, Danielle with Sally Love Real Estate took home the trophy for Best Weekly Presentation! 🏆⚾

Danielle is one of our newest Pacesetters, but she’s already proving to be an absolute all-star. She steps up to the plate every week and knocks her 45-second pitch out of the park, so this recognition was VERY well deserved.

Our weekly pitches give our members the chance to teach the room what they do, how they help, and exactly who they’d like to meet. Danielle makes every second count.

Speaking of home runs… the Home Run Derby is tonight. Who ya got? 👀

Wednesday morning, we heard an incredible 8-minute presentation from Jeremy with Find Feed & Restore, the organization that proudly holds our nonprofit seat in Pacesetters.

Jeremy shared his journey, his faith, his purpose, and the work Find, Feed & Restore is doing to help families move from homelessness to hope.

It was honest, vulnerable, powerful, and genuinely moving. More than a few of us had goosebumps, and for good reason.

This is what it's all about, folks: people using their story, their gifts, and their purpose to serve others.

We’re grateful Jeremy joined us, grateful for the mission of Find, Feed & Restore, and oh-so grateful to have them in our chapter.

As we head into the Fourth of July weekend, we hope everyone has a great and SAFE holiday. Take a moment to be grateful, hug your people, and remember how much good is happening right here in our community. ❤️

Congratulations to Alexis with Krystal Automotive for winning Best Weekly Presentation at last week’s Pacesetters meeting! 👏

Every Wednesday, our members get 45 seconds to tell the room who they are, what they do, and how we can help them grow.

Pitch Master Lex knocked it out of the park, took home the trophy, and now gets the honor of judging next week’s presentations before passing it on to the next winner.

This is what Connections that Count is all about: local business owners showing up, sharpening their message, building relationships, and helping each other win🤝
