Belfast City Chapter
BNI provides a structured, proven system for the development and exchange of quality business referrals. It is the largest business networking organization of its kind, with over 5000 chapters in operation in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Puerto Rico.

Founded in 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner with the sole purpose of strong contact business networking to generate business for fellow members, BNI has now grown to over 103,600 members.

In 2007 over 5,500,000 business referrals were passed, with a value of over £1.25 million world wide. That's larger than the gross national product of many nations!

In the UK and Ireland alone, there are over 560 BNI Chapters that in 2007 gave over 538,400 referrals, leading to business worth more than £185m being passed between members.

Our operating philosophy is 'Givers Gain', and since we allow only one person from any profession to join our chapter, you can become a part of that Circle of Giving. When you join a BNI chapter, you lock in your position and lock out your competition.

Local Mission
To practice the givers gain philosophy of business networking, by helping professionals achieve business growth through qualified word-of-mouth referrals, education, training and modeling.

Director's Mission
To facilitate and develop local BNI chapters; to provide networking education and training; and to act with honesty and integrity as a personal model of the givers gain way of business networking.
