Business Network International (BNI) is "the world's largest referral organization"​ that has no political, religious, philanthropic or social agenda. BNI has a very unique purpose: BNI is all about passing qualified referrals (not leads) and the closed business that results from those referrals. As Education Coordinator of BNI - BEST, my role is to take 3-5 minutes each week to present information that will not only provide education, but also helps our chapter members develop their networking skills. The Education Coordinator's weekly call to action maximizes the business that’s passed in any given BNI Chapter. "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires!" - William Arthur Ward
