Why Chapter 67
At Empire Business Network, joining our BNI chapter is much more than just adding a networking group to your roster; it’s like becoming a part of a family. Here, every member takes the time to genuinely understand each other’s businesses, which turns into a powerful sales force as we advocate and generate referrals for one another. Our close-knit community is built on the foundation of the “Givers Gain” philosophy, where your success is our success. We don’t just exchange business cards; we build bonds, share knowledge, and actively participate in the growth of each other’s businesses. This enriching experience of mutual support and camaraderie goes beyond business, as we become trusted advisors, cheerleaders, and friends. Embrace this empowering journey with us; where business meets heart.
Our Core Values
At Empire Business Network, our core values shape the foundation of our chapter, guiding us in creating a nurturing and productive environment for all members. Here are ten reasons why joining our BNI group, which meets at 1pm on Zoom, is a step above the rest:
Convenient Timing
Our 1pm meeting time accommodates those who aren’t morning people or have a busy morning schedule, unlike the traditional 7am meetings.
Wider Networking Scope
Our virtual format allows you to network with professionals from different locations without geographical constraints.
Flexible Environment
Join our meetings from the comfort of your home, office, or even while traveling, making it adaptable to your lifestyle.
Cost-effective
No chapter dues, and save on travel and other expenses associated with in-person meetings.
Work-Life Balance
Our mid-day virtual meetings provide a balance, allowing you to attend to personal commitments in the morning and focus on work before and after the meeting.
No Commute
Since we meet on Zoom, you save time and energy that would have been spent on commuting to an in-person meeting.
Lunchtime Productivity
Utilize your lunch break effectively by engaging in meaningful networking without interrupting your core working hours.
Safety and Health
In an ever-changing world with health concerns, our virtual meetings minimize risks associated with physical gatherings.
Easy Access to Resources
Share and receive digital resources instantly during the meetings, facilitating swift communication and collaboration.
Inclusive Community
Our Zoom meetings at 1pm foster an inclusive community that welcomes professionals who may have other commitments or constraints that make early morning in-person meetings unfeasible.
