BNI's mission is to help members increase their business through a structured, positive and professional word-of-mouth program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals. 

The philosophy of BNI is built upon the idea of “Givers Gain”.  BNI offers members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals.  Being a member of  BNI is like having sales people working for you every day who market your product or service.  If referrals are an important part of your business, then BNI is the organization for you. 

And it works!  In 2009, the 120,000 members of BNI worldwide passed over 6.2 million referrals which resulted in more than $2.6 billion in business!  In the central valley chapter referrals have generated millions of dollars for our members.

The best way to find out about BNI is to visit a chapter.  If you are a first time visitor, please select the "Visitors" tab or click here to find out more how to visit and join chapter. If you are interested in starting a new chapter, you will also find the information on the process and who to contact.
