BNI HAPPENINGS — SCANDINAVIA
Update from the Swedish BNI Market
We launched our third chapter in the Stockholm Region, our second region, two weeks ago. There were 60 people at the Kick-Off meeting!
Two new chapters started during March, the fourth in Stockholm and one in a new town, Borås, about one hour from where we live. This is the seventeenth chapter in Sweden.
We plan to open three to four more chapters before summer as it looks now.
Since the BNI International Directors' Conference in November, we have been focusing on finding Directors for our territories. We have now trained 5 Directors and that will help us to grow. At the end of January, we had our first Director training with support from Laura Hurren and James Sanderson, two Directors from the UK.
We had a mid-session meeting with all the team leaders; many of the active team leaders led small seminars. We had about 35 people attend this meeting.
We have also developed a BNI orientation manual, including 40 pages of educational material. We run the orientation for new members once a month. During spring/early summer we hope to open up our third region, probably southern Sweden.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Writer's Guidelines for SuccessNet
We want to hear from you! SuccessNet Online needs your input. SuccessNet is truly YOUR newsletter. We ask you to consider the following tips when preparing your submission for SuccessNet:
- Writing style should be clear and concise. Keep your sentences short and give us details. Be specific.
- Use the inverted pyramid format, with your information leading us to the point, rather than giving all the details up front.
- Use dialog in your submission: John said, "BNI made a huge difference in my business."
- Be sure to include your name, chapter name and business name. When applicable, list your web address and we'll insert a hyperlink to direct readers to your website.
- If appropriate, give us dollar values for your chapter brags and testimonials.
- We would like digital photos of your chapter or regional events! As you can see from this first issue, we are able to have many more local-flavor articles and reviews. With your photos, include a brief description of the event, who's in the photo, and the name and city of your chapter.
- Please also include your web address with your submission, so we can direct our readers to your site.
- Please send your submissions to newsletter@bni.com
The types of submissions we are seeking are for Chapter Brags, Memory Hooks, BNI Happenings (your regional news), any other special announcements, success stories, or things your chapter has tried that have been successful.
Thank you!
