BNI Wire: Global Updates

As of Monday, August 20th, we're excited to announce that we have surpassed 8,600 total chapters worldwide, with 8,602 chapters currently active. Each country and their respective regions have undertaken the incredible task of chapter growth with vigor and renewed focus.

While the growth we've seen across BNI is commendable, more importantly, we're creating new communities. As chapters continue to open in regions and cities across the globe, our directors are creating close-knit business communities that have a real, and positive impact in cities and towns around the world.

An impressive 320 regions across 55 countries reached BNI’s Launch Club by the end of July. That’s a 10% increase in regions who have achieved net +1 chapter growth since our June update!

July highlights include:

BNI Belgique Francophone (French Belgium) is currently setting the benchmark as they continue to lead all regions with net +7 chapter growth!
69 - Rhône, Saone-et-Loire (BNI France) continues their trend upward, as they have jumped from net +5 to net +6 chapter growth.
A special congratulations to SC Lowcountry (BNI US) as they have made the leap to Diamond Level at net +5, joining SC Midlands (BNI US).
We would like to welcome the following three (3) regions to Platinum Level, giving us a total of six (6) regions net +4 chapter growth:

Lietuva (BNI Lithuania)
FL Tampa Bay (BNI US)
VA Southeastern (BNI US)

Ten (10) other regions have now reached the Gold Level as well, for a total of twenty three (23) regions with net +3 chapter growth. That's a 28% increase since our June update. Congratulations to:
