Visiting is the recommended starting point. It lets you experience the culture and structure of a meeting and get to know the members. If the group suits your business and your category is open, you can apply at the meeting.
Ways to arrange a visit
- Contact the regional office at (707) 899-7161 or use the homepage form.
- Use the Get Invited form.
- Ask a BNI member to invite you.
- Contact a chapter president directly.
Visitor tips
- Bring business cards and be ready to briefly describe your business.
- Focus on getting to know the chapter rather than selling.
- Choose an in-person, hybrid or online chapter that fits your schedule.
