Dr. Ivan Misner, the founder of BNI and “Father of Modern Networking” has said “In addition to joining a referral networking group, you should also consider further diversifying your network by joining your local chamber of commerce.” Dr. Misner also recommends visiting your local Chamber of Commerce office to pick up information and get the names of some members you can follow up with about their experience.
The O’Fallon Chamber would like to invite all current BNI members to discover if membership in the Chamber of Commerce is the right decision for your business by inviting you to a special event free of charge. On September 6, 2013 the Chamber will be hosting a BNI Member Networking Breakfast from 7:30 – 9:00 a.m. at The Falls Golf Club located at 1170 Turtle Creek in O'Fallon, Missouri. A free continental breakfast will be provided.
The BNI Member Networking Breakfast will allow businesses to network and connect with other BNI members from the area, hear about other professional’s experiences in the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce, and see if there would be value in also becoming an O’Fallon Chamber member. Speakers will include Bill Allen, Owner of Instant Imprints in O’Fallon and St. Peters; Cindy Elking, Owner of Quintessential Catering in O’Fallon; and Mike Favazza, CPA and Owner of Favazza and Associates in St. Charles. BNI Area Director Kara Whitaker is tentatively scheduled to speak.
