Core Values
BNI is built on a set of guiding principles which form the foundation on which Members interact, conduct themselves and fulfill their goals. At BNI, we're Changing the Way the World Does Business®.
Givers Gain®
Be willing to give first, before you expect to gain. Giving unconditionally creates a better world for everyone and creates important opportunities and lasting relationships.
Traditions + Innovation
We honor our traditions and look to a brighter future fueled by innovation, optimism, and excitement.
Building Relationships
Building strong relationships creates an environment of trust and support that yields happiness, opportunity and meaning.
Lifelong Learning
Your value grows as you develop your knowledge and skills. Create a curriculum based on the person you want to become and follow that curriculum to get yourself there.
Accountability
We keep the promises we make, especially when it is hard to do so. This creates trust and supports strong relationships.
Positive Attitude
We find the good in everything that happens to us, and that propels our lives forward. Finding the good in every person enables us to attract terrific people, opportunities, and wealth.
Recognition
We appreciate that recognition fuels the growth of successful organizations. The person who masters the art of recognition attracts success, meaning, and happiness.
BNI’s Core Values Start with Givers Gain®
The altruism and goodwill we feel towards one another, and to the world, start with a genuine love of people –all people, equally. We encourage and embrace diversity in every respect.
Our Statement on Equality and Non-discrimination
BNI requires that BNI Chapters review and select candidates for BNI Membership without discriminating on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, age or disability. BNI will not support actions by a Chapter in violation of this statement.
Member Safety and Wellbeing
The safety and wellbeing of our Members is our top priority. On March 16th, 2020 out of an abundance of caution, BNI transitioned all of its in-person meetings to BNI online®. The innovative online platform has exceeded our expectations and has proven to be highly effective in allowing Members to keep their network and business strong. BNI Members can network safely from the convenience and comfort of their home or office. We will continue to offer BNI Online® meetings going forward, and countries may start to return to in-person meetings when local governments and National Directors deem it appropriate at the country or regional level, and when Chapter Members are comfortable doing so at their individual Chapter level. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at TMR@bni.com.
