About BNI Gainesville
The Gainesville GA Chapter of BNI was founded in 2007 by several local business people seeking to improve their business through effective networking.
Those original members are still practicing the philosophy of Givers Gain®, whereby referrals given to networking partners help instill trust, loyalty and respect for our fellow networking partners.
In turn, our networking partners refer business back to us.
BNI Gainesville is a closed networking group meaning that only one business per specialty is allowed membership.
For example, if you are a mortgage broker and join the Gainesville business networking group, no other mortgage broker can join this group. The Gainesville GA business networking group has current members ranging from a chiropractor, financial planner, accountant, insurance, graphic design, catering, event planning, vending, personal health supplement representative, photography, framing, real estate, mortgage broker, carpentry (custom storage buildings), auto collision repair, to website design.
You are invited to visit our business networking group twice at no charge. If your business specialty is not represented among our members, you will be invited to join. Membership is for one year, at which point you are invited to renew based on your commitment to the group.
Membership Guidelines
- Only one person from each professional specialty is permitted to join a chapter of BNI.
- All participants should represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
- Attendance is critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you may send a substitute. This will not count as an absence.
- Participation in the chapter by members is a key to the success of a group. Members can participate by bringing bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their BNI chapter.
