The excitement is building! Our National Conference is around the corner and only days ago we announced that Stan Phelps is going to be presenting a keynote for us! Could this get any better?
Some of you will have been at our last conference and heard the fabulous Mr Phelps live, so will understand why we're so excited. The rest of you should grab the opportunity to hear him in person
Along with all our other amazing speakers and sponsors this conference is shaping up to be our best ever.
I do hope to see you there!

FEBRUARY RESULTS
Although it was a shorter month, February’s results were phenomenal. We generated just under $43 million in business for one another. We made 26,441 introductions, had 35,500 1-2-1s and invited 2,788 visitors to our Chapter meetings. What an outstanding result! Well done everyone.
A fantastic job also by all Chapters who made the Top 10 and all Members who made the Top 20 this month.
BUSINESS VOICES PROJECT
BNI Evergreen in Perth recently collaborated with chapter member, Peter Trenaman of Group Support to refurbish computers to donate to families in need. BNI Evergreen raised funds to help Peter purchase items required to refurbish computers that were destined for the bin. Ten computers were refurbished and distributed to charities that work directly with families in need.
Thank you, BNI Evergreen and Peter Trenaman and his team at Group Support, for making this Business Voices Project happen.
“It was lovely to hear about just how much these PCs will help some of the community who are doing it tough.” Will Preiseig, Group Support Pty Ltd.
HOW YOUR CHAPTER CAN SUPPORT BUSINESS VOICES PROJECTS
What is Business Voices Project?
Here is another great way for BNI Chapters to get involved in charitable initiatives.
The Business Voices Project (BVP) pairs BNI Members with motivated businesses and community groups, with schools to help them find the resources they need to maximise positive impact on the children in our communities.
There are many ways you can become involved. You can –
Support a school supply drive;
Source education resources; or
Participate in a Career Event
The best way to get started is to reach out to local groups aligned with schools that are seeking assistance. This is a great business-community initiative for your chapter to be a part of!
