What an amazing Spotlight Gathering last Wednesday at ProSource Flooring of Sarasota!

It was a fantastic opportunity for our BNI Referral Champions members to connect, learn, and experience firsthand the incredible products, services, and showroom that make ProSource such a valuable resource for homeowners, contractors, designers, and business professionals.

A huge THANK YOU to Leslie Dalupan and the entire ProSource team for their warm hospitality and for hosting such an outstanding event. We also want to thank all the BNI Referral Champions members who attended and helped make the gathering a great success.
