I've been involved with the Printing Industry for nearly 20 years in many different capacities and I love to help people grow their businesses! Through my work in printing I found that referrals were essential to my business success and luckily in 2010 I was introduced to BNI, a business referral network. Right away I saw the value of "Giver's Gain" and within 6 months of becoming a member of BNI I was able to participate with BNI on a regional level in Chicago. Now, as the Executive Director for BNI Chicago & Cook County I make an impact and continue to facilitate growth for business in and around Chicagoland. I still have the printing business and it's going strong!
