Visiting a Meeting

From networkingnorth.com:

Visiting BNI Network North is easy. Our meetings are welcoming, structured, and focused on helping local businesses build lasting referral relationships.

As our guest, you’ll have a chance to introduce yourself during the weekly meeting. You won’t be put on the spot. Everyone in the room, members included, gives a brief introduction. See Your 60-second introduction.

The official chapter page puts it simply: check the directory to see if your specialty is available, and join us for breakfast to see how the team operates.

Your first-visit checklist

• ✅ Arrive early. Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before the meeting starts to meet members and get checked in.
• ✅ Bring business cards. Bring plenty. Networking begins before the meeting officially starts.
• ✅ Prepare your 60-second introduction. Share who you are, what you do, and the specific referrals you’re looking for.
• ✅ Ask questions. Members are happy to explain how BNI works and answer questions after the meeting.
• ✅ Have fun. BNI is built on relationships. Relax, meet local business owners, and enjoy the experience.
