Well, we're only a quarter of the way through the year and business is booming the BNI way !! We have lots of new members this year with 31 members in the Derwent chapter and 20 in the Clarence chapter.
Below is a recent photo of members of the BNI Derwent chapter networking.
The Launceston chapter - BNI Tamar - has almost finished Core Group Training and are hosting their Visitors Day on Thursday 13th April at the Mercure Earlington Hotel, Earl Street Launceston.
If you know of a business in Launceston that could benefit from joining BNI please contact BNI Tamar President Celine Egan at admin@tcy.com.au
Please join with me in congratulating Bob Lord & Laird Murchie who have both achieved 4 years of membership in BNI. This makes them BNI Tasmania's longest serving members. Bob and Laird possess a wealth of knowledge. Arrange a dance card with one or both to ask them their secrets ! If you'd like to know why BNI is growing in strength talk to them today !
Already this year we have awarded Gold Club memberships to Laird Murchie, Graeme Facy and Zenep Jaffers from BNI Derwent for introducing at least 6 new members into BNI.
Phillip "Sunny" Drury is the face of Clemenger Tasmania in BNI. Sunny is the Design Director and is responsible for branding and print marketing campaigns.
A BNI client of Sunny's who has had remarkable success is Venus Fashion, Flowers and Gifts. The Clemenger team rebranded Maree Little and Murray James' business and relaunched the shop as an upmarket womens florist and accessories retailer.
Clemenger Tasmania offers brand creation, implementation and management across all media. Strategic and creative marketing services including advertising, design, multimedia, direct marketing, media placement, public relations and promotions.

CLEMENGER TASMANIA: Ideas that touch people. Brands that endure.
Previously new members who have attended stated they had benefited enormously from the session and members of their respective chapters will certainly notice a difference in their presentations. Don't forget, if you haven't booked in for a member success programme training session you must do so within 60 days of joining BNI. You can do this via the BNI website. Just login, go to upcoming events, select Member Success Programme Training and book in !
The next Hobart session will be held on Thursday 6th April at 61 Molle Street, Hobart at 6pm.
Start your 2006 BNI year with a training session to maximise your membership. If you haven't attended training for at least two years it's well worth it ! The Member Success programme has changed in many ways so it's advisable to update your skills. Book early to avoid disappointment.
