Thank you for your interest
in BNI Mountains West. Welcome
to BNI, the
world's largest business referral organization!
BNI has
more than 111,000 members in 40 countries, nearly 300
of whom are in BNI chapters in
New Mexico. Every member of BNI Mountains West acts as a part of the marketing team for the
other members of their chapter, with the aim of
securing qualified business referrals for each
other.
The best way to find out
about BNI is to visit a chapter. Visitors may
attend chapter meetings twice ONLY (one chapter
twice, or two chapters once each), before they will
be asked to make a decision about joining.
Visitors may NOT
promote their business in a chapter where their
business category is represented. It is not
necessary to have an invitation to visit a chapter, however it
is best to
contact the president of the chapter prior to the
visit. Click here
for BNI Mountains West chapter details.
It is important for visitors to
be aware of the following BNI
policies (see more details):
 |
Only one person from any professional specialty is
permitted to join each BNI chapter.
|
|
|
An individual BNI member
may represent only one business category. |
|
|
Members represent their primary occupation. |
|
|
Attendance is critical. Chapters conduct
weekly business meetings of 90min duration, and
all members commit to weekly attendance. |
Joining a Chapter.
An individual may
be a member of one chapter only. A
company may have individuals representing them in
several chapters.
Applications are available at chapter meetings, and
members of the chapter will assist with their
completion. An
new member application is reviewed by the chapter's
Membership Committee, and the prospective member
notified of the application status as soon as
possible.
The investment to join
BNI consists of a registration fee, and annual participation fee.
Please call the BNI Mountains West office for details

Individual chapters may also charge an additional fee to pay for
the space in which their meetings take place.
These

join BNI, and are at the discretion of individual chapter
management teams.
