All BNI Meetings Are Now Online!

To the Global BNI Community,

From the start, BNI has prioritized safety above all other considerations. When this situation first arose, BNI Leaders around the world immediately went into action to deploy helpful resources and tools to support you. One of those tools – bni online™ - helps BNI Chapters easily transition to online meetings on a temporary basis so they can continue supporting each other and passing referrals in any situation. It has been well-received, and we are enhancing it every day.

After thoughtful analysis and consultation with outstanding BNI Members and Leaders from around the world, we have decided to transition all BNI Chapters, trainings, and other events to an online format effective immediately. Out of an abundance of caution, no further in-person BNI meetings, trainings, nor social events of any kind should take place until it is appropriate to do so.

As you know, you are supported by very capable BNI Leaders who are working around the clock to support you. I congratulate each of them. If they have not already, your BNI National Directors, Executive Directors, Regional Directors, Director Consultants, and Chapter Leadership Teams will be in touch with you shortly to help you seamlessly transition to bni online™ either this coming week, or next week. Enjoy the experience and continue energetically supporting each other online as you have always done. Thousands of Members globally have already transitioned and are reporting a terrific continuation of referrals and TYFCB on this platform, and they are thankful for continued access to their vital business network. We will restart in-person meetings as soon as appropriate. When we do so, we will then have more capabilities than ever to help you achieve your dreams.

BNI will emerge from this situation stronger than ever. Together, we will help lead the global recovery. We will help support families, and help rebuild businesses and communities. We will be absolutely relentless in supporting every BNI Member through the recovery. We will not rest until these things are done.

Let us now continue Changing the Way the World Does Business®.

Onward,

Graham Weihmiller, Chairman & CEO of BNI

5-Star BNI Chapters 

5-Star Chapters are implementing the BNI success system and are chapters you can feel confident in applying to and referring colleagues to apply. To earn a five-star rating, chapters must make sure these things occur:

• President conducts Chapter SUCCESS Meetings monthly and submits monthly report by the 10th of each month (for the previous month)
• Vice President conducts Membership Committee Meeting and submits monthly report by the 10th of each month (for the previous month)
• PALMS reports are submitted no later than end of day Monday for the previous week’s meeting
• Secretary/Treasurer accurately marks attendance or enters visitor information in BNI Connect^® by end of day Friday of each week’s meeting
• At least one member from the chapter attends a Leadership and Support Team Roundtable that month (only one star is given, no matter how many members attend)

Congratulations to the 22 chapters who earned 5-Star status for the month of January!
