Gold Club
Gold Club Members are recognized for sponsoring six (6) or more new members into BNI (any chapter, any region, any time frame).
They receive a special member badge along with recognition within their chapter and on the regional website. There are also regional events so members can network with other leaders in BNI.
NOTE: If you feel the information below is inaccurate, please email [email protected] and let us know (1) who you sponsored, (2) which chapter they joined and (3) when they joined BNI. We would like to update our system and recognize you for your efforts!
