About BNI Lodi Founders—Business Networking International
BNI offers members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals. Being a member of BNI is like having sales people working for you every day who market your product or service.
Our chapter is located in Lodi, the center of the California Central Valley wine country. Formed in April, 2004, we are a Gold Chapter with over 25 members. Our chapter is continuing to grow with openings available in multiple lines of business. If your line of business is already represented in our chapter, we still appreciate your visiting us. We can refer to a number of sister chapters in the area.
Our mission: to help members grow relationships that enable them to prosper as individuals and to profit as business leaders.
Being a member of BNI is like having sales people working for you every day who market your product or service. It provides a positive, supportive, and structured environment for business people to grow their businesses through word-of-mouth marketing.
If you enjoy the positive association of other business leaders who are working together to overcome the challenges of modern-day business, consider joining us. We promise you'll look forward to every Friday morning from now on!
