The best way to find out about BNI is to visit a chapter. Visitors may attend chapter meetings twice (one chapter twice, or two chapters once each) before being asked to make a decision about joining. Most chapters meet for 90 minutes with firm start and end times (larger chapters of 50+ members may have expanded meeting times). Plan to stay the entire time! You will have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business.
BNI in this region has 30 chapters to choose from throughout most counties in Northwest Ohio. You can select the links below to find out more about each individual chapter or for other search options scroll below this geographical list.
