Business Network International (BNI)
For the past 10 years, I have been a member of Business Network International (BNI), serving as a Director Consultant for the last 8 years. The mission of BNI is to “help members increase their business through a structured, positive and professional referral marketing program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals.”
In my role as a Director Consultant, I work with the leadership teams of assigned BNI chapters to help them achieve the mission. I also work with the franchise owner on the local board to create strategies for growth and enhanced support of the chapters.
While on the Board, Matt Kinsey led the effort to rewrite our Church Bylaws, allowing us to separate financial decision making from spiritual matters. As a result, the spiritual matters of the church now receive the attention they deserve regardless of the financial condition of the church. This separation has resulted in an improved situation both financially and spiritually.
