Every business gets something different out of their BNI membership, here are some of the more commonly asked questions about BNI membership. If you have any questions of your own, please do not hesitate to call a member and ask, they will be only too eager to help you.
When Do You Meet?
The chapter meets every Wednesday morning (barring a few public holidays). Members are expected to attend all meetings, or send a substitute. By attending meetings strong working relationships grow and a greater level of referral business is developed.
Where Do You Meet?
We meet every Wednesday morning at 7:00am at 55 Cafe in Albany. Members always offer visitors a warm welcome and a hot coffee. There is plenty of parking available.
What Time?
Meetings are in the morning and are always finished by 8:30am, to allow you to do your ‘day job’. The meetings start at 7:00am with a session called “Open Networking”, in this session you can meet and talk with members discovering the wide range of skills and experience available. The meeting sits down for a choice of breakfast* at 7:10am and proceeds with the agenda until it is drawn to a close at 8:30am.
What Do I Need To Bring?
You need to bring along approximately 50 business cards to distribute to the members and other guests. There is a $25.00 meeting fee to cover the cost of refreshments, breakfast, room hire and other costs on further visits.
Do I Need A Personal Invitation?
No, we welcome visitors, but it does help with our planning if we know if you are coming. Please give us a call.
