BNI Carmel Valley - Networking, Introductions, and Business Referrals

Leaders from the local business community meet regularly to maintain a pulse on local business, build professional relationships, and increase the impact of their own endeavors via personal introductions and warm referrals.

This group was established in 2001 to help local professionals increase their influence and impact through a structured, positive and professional environment enabling the development of long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals from the nearby community.

Each week regular participants and visitors all have a brief opportunity to share trends in their businesses and/or how they add value for their clients and network. The agenda also intentionally includes time to help others with networking connections and business referrals. In this environment, givers gain!

Weekly Meeting Agenda:

- 6:45a - 7:00a; Open Networking (Pro tip!: arrive by/before 6:45a and take full advantage of this opportunity to connect with the other participants one-to-one ahead of the structured portion of the meeting agenda. Before the meeting, review the roster of participants for an idea of whom you may want to specifically connect with during this brief period, and ask regular participants to introduce you to them!).

- 7:00a - 8:30a; Structured Agenda (introductory information, attendee introductions, featured speakers, business referrals and networking connections - and more!)

- 8:30a - 8:45a; Visitor Orientation

Maintaining ongoing professional relationships benefits businesses through all market cycles, as people continue to do business with - and refer people - that they know, like and trust.

Presently, with 50+ regular participants, weekly attendance is expected to be ~50-60 local professionals. A list of the regular participants is at:

Grateful for our alliance with BNI, we are an exclusive category organization that allows only one person per professional classification to participate regularly. VISITORS ARE WELCOMED! We value the opportunity to connect with new visitors at all events posted on our Meetup calendar. If you are a leader in your field, we'd love to meet you.

Meetings are nearly every Wednesday morning throughout the year (with some holiday exceptions). The first Wednesday of the month we meet in-person, with the remaining Wednesday meetings of the month being online via Zoom. The Meetup event calendar is kept current.

There is no event fee.

For the in-person meetings, we’re in the large training room located in the building lobby. Look for our check-in table just inside the building entrance.

## PARKING ##

- Please use parking spaces around the building labeled "WestPac" - or those having no label.

Our weekly event is one of the very best ways to connect and gain visibility within the local business community. We look forward to meeting you soon and learning more about your endeavors.
