ELITE BNI

ELITE BNI BNI is the largest business networking organization in the world. Offering members the opportunity t Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R.

Misner, Founder & Chairman, BNI provides a positive, supportive, and structured environment for the development and exchange of quality business referrals. It does so by helping you build personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. Last year alone our members, locally in BNI Central Virginia, passed over 25,000 referrals, which generated over $40 million in closed

business for them. That's an average of $1,600 per referral, and each member received an average of 28 referrals, making the average seat in a BNI-Central Virginia chapter worth almost $42,000!!! Business Network Int'l passed over 6.6 million referrals in 6,597 chapters with over 200,000 members in 65 countries resulting in more than $10.85 billion in business last year! Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of referral partners representing your business, and in return, you are representing their businesses.

A strong chapter doesn’t just pass referrals—it protects reputations.

Every introduction you make reflects back on you.
That’s why consistency, communication, and follow-through matter.

In BNI, trust isn’t assumed.
It’s earned—and protected.

January is the perfect time to reset — not just your goals, but your habits. In BNI, success doesn’t come from resolutions alone. It comes from intentional action, consistent relationships, and showing up for others week after week.

Set your intention. Protect your calendar.
Strong habits now = strong referrals all year long.

The holiday season is full of conversations — family gatherings, office parties, community events.
That means it’s also full of referral opportunities.

When someone says:
❄️ “I need help with…”
❄️ “Do you know anyone who…”
❄️ “We’re planning to…”

Remember: your chapter has someone for that.
Share the connection and make someone’s season a little brighter.
