SML Founders Chapter
By Micah Gaudio, Resident WIRTZ, 24184
“Givers Gain” is their motto and the SML Founders Chapter of BNI is off to a promising start. The Chapter has officially met three times and already has more than 20 members from different professions.
BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows one representative from each profession to join. The sole purpose of the group is to give its members more business. It’s based on the concept that what goes around comes around. If you give business to me, I’ll give business to you.
BNI has seven chapters in Roanoke, eight in Lynchburg and many others in Salem, Danville, Rocky Mount and Blacksburg that make up the West Central Virginia Region. The SML Founders chapter holds the record for the fastest growing group in the Region’s history.
BNI was founded in 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner of San Dimas, CA and has more than 1,667 chapters and 24,000 members worldwide .
If you are interested in substantially increasing your business through word-of-mouth advertising, BNI can offer a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business in a professional environment where you can develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals.
