Membership Openings
Each BNI chapter permits one member for each type of business. In addition to the business types listed below, if your business is not represented on our roster, you are welcome to join our chapter. You might also consider membership in one of the several other Central Valley BNI chapters.
"BNI membership gives me credibility with my customers. They know the caliber of the members and businesses."
There are a number of types of businesses that benefit from membership in a Business Networking International chapter. Membership is not restricted to businesses located in Lodi.

Membership Requirements
- Only one person from any professional specialty is permitted to join each BNI chapter.
- An individual BNI member may represent only one business category.
- Members must represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
- Attendance is critical. Chapters conduct weekly business meetings of 90min duration, and all members commit to weekly attendance. Substitutes are permitted within certain guidelines.
