Keep Coming — We Want to Get to Know You!

Just because you’ve submitted your application doesn’t mean your visits need to stop. BNI generally limits visitors to two chapter meetings. However, once you’ve submitted an application to the Firecrackers, we encourage you to continue attending our weekly meetings while your application is being reviewed.

Why keep attending?

  • Build relationships with our members
  • Learn more about the businesses represented in our chapter
  • See the value of BNI firsthand
  • Give our members more opportunities to get to know you and your business

One Professional Specialty. One Seat.

BNI allows only one member for each professional specialty in a chapter. If your professional category is currently available in the Firecrackers, don’t miss the opportunity to apply. Submitting your application begins the membership review process. Your professional seat is secured only after your application has been approved and the required membership payment has been completed. Check whether your seat is open →

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about the application process.

Does submitting an application guarantee membership?

No. All applications are reviewed by the Firecrackers Membership Committee, and membership is subject to approval.

Can I continue attending Firecrackers meetings after I apply?

Yes. Once you have submitted your application, we encourage you to keep attending our weekly meetings while your application is being reviewed.

What should I expect during the interview?

The interview is a chance for the Membership Committee to learn more about you and your business, and for you to ask questions about the chapter and membership process.

What if another member represents my profession?

BNI allows only one member per professional specialty in each chapter. If that category is already filled, your application may not move forward for that seat.

How will I know the decision?

You will receive an email with the Membership Committee’s decision after the review process is complete.

Does submitting an application reserve my professional category?

Submitting an application begins the review process, but your professional seat is secured only after approval and completion of the required membership payment.
