CHAPTER LAUNCH DISCOVERY SESSION 

1. You Build a Network Tailored to Your Needs

When you launch a chapter, you choose the founding members.
That means you can curate a group of:

  • High-quality professionals
  • Complementary industries
  • People you genuinely enjoy collaborating with

2. You Establish Yourself as a Leader

As a chapter founder, you naturally become:

  • leader in the local business community
  • connector who brings people together
  • Someone who is seen as influential and well-networked

3. You Receive More Referrals Early On

New chapters often generate:

  • High referral energy
  • Strong motivation among members
  • Extra support from regional BNI directors

4. Stronger Long-Term Relationships

Founding members often develop:

  • Deeper loyalty
  • Stronger group cohesion
  • More trust among each other

5. Growth Potential = More Opportunities

A new chapter typically grows quickly.
As it grows:

  • The number of referrals increases
  • More industries join, broadening reach
  • Members become more connected

6. Access to BNI Support

BNI invests heavily in helping new chapters succeed, giving you:

  • Structured chapter-building training
  • Guidance from experienced BNI Directors
  • Marketing and launch support
  • Mentoring for leadership roles

7. You Shape the Culture. When you launch a chapter, with our guidance, you choose the founding members

Instead of joining someone else’s established culture, you get to:

  • Set the tone
  • Prioritize professionalism or friendliness
  • Encourage accountability and high performance
  • Create a chapter environment you truly enjoy attending

You Might Be Wondering...

Do I have to launch a chapter on my own?

You are an integral part of building your chapter but you are never alone. A BNI Launch Director guides you and your fellow applicants weekly through the proven launch process.

I don't really have a lot of time...will this still work for me?

Being a BNI member takes commitment. Being in charge of your own calendar is really important. This process takes time, motivation and drive to build an amazing chapter. The short term work pays off over the years to come.

What does BNI stand for?

Business Network International

I have a lot of questions. Who should I talk to?

The best thing is to attend an information session. We will most likely answer any questions you may have and, if not, you can ask whatever you need to.

Is BNI something new?

BNI started in 1985. At this moment there are over 330,000 members in over 11,200 chapter in over 76 countries around the world. We are the experts in what we do.
