To BNI or Not to BNI?

This morning, very early, this morning, Brooke and I attended a meeting of BNI (www.bni.com):

With over 145,000 members worldwide, BNI is the largest business networking and referral marketing organization in the world. Last year alone, BNI generated 6.9 million referrals resulting in $3.1 billion dollars' worth of business for its members.
We were invited by a friend of mine, Summer Berman Diaz, a financial advisor at Ameriprise Financial (http://www.ameripriseadvisors.com/summer.b.diaz/).  Summer is amazing, I sent my mother to her for advice and she really helped.

We were a bit leery as we had never been to anything like this. But I will admit, I think both Brooke and myself were impressed. We gave a 30 second "commercial" about B.Baum Photo, receiving an ovation (no other guest speakers did other than us!). We handed out some business cards and had a nice breakfast.

It was a great group of people that really seem to want to help one another. So we are thinking of joining...
