Boston's Executive Director is International Director of the Year
BNI held an awards ceremony recently at the International Directors' Conference in Brea, CA, and announced that Patti Salvucci, the Executive Director for the Greater Boston, MA, area has been named the first International Director of the Year.
"Our International Director of the Year (IDY) was chosen from hundreds of other Directors from many countries," says Dr. Ivan Misner. Patti is a contributing author in the recent Wall Street Journal bestseller, Masters of Networking.
"Patti truly exemplifies the best of our organization," Misner maintains. The Greater Boston area currently has over 60 BNI chapters, which Salvucci manages.
"Some of the criteria considered when selecting our IDY include number of new chapters developed, average members per chapter and contributions to the organization above and beyond the norm," says Misner.
Salvucci has been an integral part of BNI's team of Directors, conducting workshops at nearly all their Directors' Conferences and supporting others throughout the 5 years she has been affiliated with BNI. "We are proud of Patti's achievement and feel she truly deserves this prestigious award," Misner concludes.
