What is the format of the BNI Networking Meetings?

BNI meetings are weekly meetings where every member and visitor gets to talk about their business. The meetings are chaired by a leadership team who are responsible for the agenda of the meeting and making sure the meeting runs to time.

What is a Substitute within BNI?

A substitute within BNI is a person who can represent you at meetings, and a great way to make sure you don't miss out on the meeting. An ideal sub for a BNI meeting could be a member of your team, a client or a potential visitor who maybe looking to join BNI now or in the future.

What is the BNI Application Process?

It is great that you are looking to join a local chapter meeting. Once you have requested your application form from your leadership team along with the two referees the membership team will then review it. Subject to your membership being approved you will be asked to attend a New Member Training Success Programme where you will learn more about BNI, its ethos and how you can make the most from your membership. Once complete you will then become a registered member of BNI.
