Why Join

Why join our network?

BNI is a structured referral program built on one idea: when you help other members win business, they help you do the same.

Grow your professional network

Connect with like-minded business owners across health, home, finance, and business services.

Give and receive quality referrals

Members know your work, trust your standards, and pass you warm introductions instead of cold leads.

Build trusted, long-term relationships

Meeting every week turns contacts into colleagues, and many into friends.

Develop valuable leadership skills

Chapter leadership roles give you real experience running meetings, committees, and events.

Strengthen your public speaking

A short presentation every week sharpens how you explain what you do and who you help.

Learn tools that elevate your business

Ongoing BNI education and member-led training help you get more from every relationship.

How It Works

How BNI works

BNI's core value is Givers Gain®: by giving business to others, you get business in return. Getting started takes three steps.

  1. Visit a meeting

    Register online and join us on a Tuesday morning. You can visit up to two times.

  2. Meet the members

    Hear each member's 40-second presentation, plus their 10-second I-haves: the referrals and closed business they report each week.

  3. Apply for your seat

    If your profession's seat is open, apply. Our Membership Committee reviews references and interviews each applicant.

Visitor details
When and where does the chapter meet?

Every Tuesday from 6:45 to 8:30 AM, except certain holidays. We meet in the 10th floor dining hall at 100 Centre Street, Brookline, MA 02446 (Center Communities of Brookline). From the elevator, walk straight down the long hallway to the dining room.

How do I visit a meeting?

Register online through the BNI Massachusetts visitor registration page. When you arrive, sign in with one of our Visitor Hosts. Bring business cards to share.

Can visitors give a presentation?

If your profession isn't already represented in the chapter, you can give a short introduction. If a member already holds your category, you're welcome to introduce yourself, but not pitch your business. Arrive on time: late arrivals forfeit their presentation slot.

How many times can I visit?

Visitors can attend up to two meetings, plus a Visitors' Day if one is scheduled.

Can anyone join the chapter?

Each chapter holds one seat per profession. Applicants provide references and are interviewed by our Membership Committee, which votes on each application.

What does membership cost?

BNI Massachusetts sets annual membership dues and a one-time registration fee. The chapter also collects room dues, currently $65 per quarter.
