Learn More and Getting Involved

How can I get invited as a visitor to a BNI meeting?

To ensure you have a productive visit, it is best to be an expected guest. This can be done in a number of ways. One way is to contact our regional office and have us notify the chapter that you will be visiting. Please contact the BNI Atlanta office at (678) 264-8708, send email or complete the form (Click Here). You can also be invited by a BNI member or contact a local chapter's president directly.

How can I find out more about Joining BNI?

The best way to find out about joining BNI is to visit a chapter. By visiting a local chapter you will be able to experience the culture and structure of a BNI meeting. You will also get to know the business people involved in the chapter. If the group would be a good fit for your business and your business category is open, you may apply for the position at the meeting.

How do I apply for a BNI Membership?

We need to find the chapter to apply to first.  You will need to visit the Chapter before submitting an application.  Click on the CHAPTER LIST button above and select a Chapter.  On the Chapter Detail page look on the right side of the page for Apply Now in the menu.

Forming Chapters

You should note that some professions (particularly financial advisors, P&C Insurance, residential realtors and mortgage brokers) may find it difficult to locate a chapter or forming group with an opening for their business category. To find out how we can assist you to start your own chapter, contact the BNI Atlanta office at (678) 264-8708 or send email. We will be delighted to speak with you about the development of a new chapter.
