I attended a BNI meeting (Group 6); it was a great experience. I was merely subbing for a friend who could not attend, and I left the meeting with two very promising leads. Everyone was warm and friendly, but I noticed something very peculiar, however. I was one of only three women in a group of 25 or more men. Now I know from having attended other BNI chapters that that is not par for the course. Nevertheless, this was the case for this particular chapter, a chapter which seemed so welcoming to me and the other two women there.
So, I am writing to say this to the businesswomen of New York: If I were you, I would take advantage of this chance to join a group of fine, no-nonsense business people, who all seem to be having great success helping each other find leads and referrals, and, equally important – the icing on the cake - who are very receptive to the idea of increasing their female membership.
BNI - Group 6 meets each Wednesday at 7:00 a.m. at the Williams Club, 24 East 39th Street, New York, New York 10016. For more details, please contact Shaun Smith by phone at (646) 862-1710 or contact BNI by email at tcymbol@manhattanbni.com
