BNI was brought to Northern Indiana in late 1995 by Mark Botts,
owner of Doors & Drawers, Inc. Doors & Drawers is a
cabinet refacing company and Mark was looking for a referral
organization that "worked", so his
sales reps could participate and generate new business for
the company.
Having seen BNI "work" in Toledo, Ohio Mark volunteered
to become a BNI Director to start a couple
of chapters in the area to benefit his refacing company, and
it has! BNI also
worked very well for other business professionals. The "couple
of chapters" have now turned into 27 with almost 600 members
in the Northern Indiana Region. BNI Works!
We Thank You for visiting our website. Hopefully the site
will answer some questions you may have about the BNI system.
We also know that the site will NOT give you
the feel and excitement of an actual BNI meeting! For that
you will need to attend a
Chapter meeting and start building relationships.
