• Commercial Banking
• Computer Services - PC and Network Support
• Car Services - Repair and Maintenance
• Electrical Contractor
• Building Services
• Cleaning Services
• Signmaking
• Recruitment Agency
• Florist

Anyone interested in taking advantage of this opportunity should contact info@bni-saltway.co.uk to arrange a visit to see how it works.

Absent Friends

Hi BNI Saltway Members.   As someone new to blogging I thought I would gain some experience by posting a message to say how much I'm missing the Tuesday morning meetings.   I'm into the fourth week of the eight wek period I understand is required for the fracture to heal.  Dean seems to be doing a super job as standin ams is keeping me well informed of what's happening at BNI Saltway.  Good luck to you all......not bad for left handed typing huh?

Who Does Your BNI Seat Belong To?

A new member asked me to explain who a BNI seat belongs to and a couple of associated questions. Thought it might be helpful to share the answer:

The owner of the seat in BNI is whoever signs the cheque. If it’s a company cheque or credit card it’s the company that owns the seat. If the individual pays and reclaims from the company, it’s the individual. This is only relevant if the individual leaves the company but wishes to retain the seat.

In either case the individual named on the application form is the member and if that person leaves and the company wish to appoint a replacement the Membership Committee has to approve that replacement. If the member needs a substitute, that can be a colleague from the same company but doesn’t need to be. Indeed it’s often best if a substitute is from a different company. Then the substitute could give referrals in his or her own right to members and might even want to join.

An individual can only be a member of a single Chapter but other individuals from the same business can join other Chapters. When considering an application from an individual whose company has a seat in another Chapter the Membership Committee may consider whether the company in question is capable of giving referrals to two or more Chapters.

Hope this is clear, if you need more clarification please ask.
