BNI, an international networking organization specializing in business referrals among its members, welcomes businesses to its weekly meeting for the chapter currently forming in Sequim. BNI is a great way for businesses to experience growth by maximizing their marketing efforts through word-of-mouth advertising.

Last year, the organization generated over 7.7 million referrals and over $9.3 billion worth of business for its members worldwide.

“Our style of networking is based on the philosophy ‘Givers Gain®’ — if I help you, then you’ll help me and we’ll all do better business,” said Dr. Ivan Misner, who founded the organization in 1985.

Anyone from the Olympic Peninsula interested in attending a meeting is welcome; the group only accepts one person per profession in each chapter. BNI meets every Wednesday for lunch from 11:45 a.m.-1:15 p.m. at Nourish Restaurant, 101 Provence View Lane, Sequim.
