NEW ORLEANS – Metairie area business professionals have formed a new chapter of BNI. The BNI Opportunity Unlimited chapter will meet weekly to network, actively refer business to members of the group, strengthen individual businesses, and ultimately boost the local economy.
The BNI Opportunity Unlimited chapter launched recently with more than 20 business professionals under the leadership of Tiffanie Riddle, President and Natalie Barranco, Vice President. Through BNI, members share ideas, contacts, and business referrals in a positive, supportive, and structured environment. Only one person representing a professional specialty can join a BNI chapter.
The BNI Opportunity Unlimited chapter will meet weekly on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. at Porter and Luke’s Family Restaurant, 1517 Metairie Rd., in Metairie. Business owners and company representatives who would like to learn more about BNI and the Unlimited Opportunity chapter are welcome.
“Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of salespeople representing your business,” said Tiffany Riddle, BNI Opportunity Unlimited President. “Through BNI, members grow their business and their networking skills. Together we build businesses and support the local economy.”
BNI is the world’s largest business and professional organization. In 2015, BNI Louisiana/ Mississippi members passed more than 43,000 referrals, which resulted in approximately $44.4 million in closed business reported by members.
