BNI HAPPENINGS - WORLDWIDE
SuccessNet Vision 2001
As announced in the previous issue, we plan to move the BNI newsletter to an online format. The wheels are now in motion to make this happen. We have teamed with a BNI member the Fox Valley, Illinois, chapter to begin the process of converting to the new format.
Initially, printed copies will still go out to chapters. But the newsletter will also be sent via e-mail. We are asking all members to get their e-mail addresses to BNI so that we can develop the BNI Listserv. You should have seen the sign-up sheet circulated in your chapters by this point. If you have not, please sign up by going to the BNI Website, BNI.com or e-mail us at newsletter@bni.com. Our goal by the third issue of 2001 is to have everyone accessing the newsletter through e-mail and the chapters printing one or two copies for members of the chapter who might not have e-mail.
The content and layout will remain similar, but you will not have to wait for it to be passed out to you by your chapter president, who receives it from the local director, who has it mailed from BNI Headquarters ... you get the picture! With our new format, you will receive SuccessNet directly, and be able to print it (in color, if you have a color printer) and share it with prospective members and contacts of your own. We plan to add pages for regional features, so if your chapter is planning a mixer, Visitor's Day, trade show, or other event, we can publicize it for you throughout the organization. We will also be accepting more digital photographs of your chapters and members, so send anything you'd like to see in the newsletter to us now!
We are excited about the new format and the added capabilities it will give BNI Headquarters to link all chapters together and create a greater sense of unity throughout the world!
