The Mill River BNI (Business Networking International) group, located in Florence, MA, is a group dedicated to business networking but understood the need to network on a different level… the Internet. With the launch of the Chapter's new website, www.millriverbni.com, the networking group looks to attract new visitors as well as inform the public about the benefits of BNI.
"We worked with the Mill River Chapter to create a website that is informative, professional and a showcase for member businesses." said Jason Turcotte of Turcotte Data & Designs, the company that created the site for the Chapter. "The website includes bios for each of the Chapter's members, a speaker rotation calendar and contact information. It even includes a real-time count of the amount of business the chapter generates." added Turcotte who is a member of the Mill River Chapter and also serves on the Membership Committee and is the Chapter's Educational Coordinator.
"It's great. [The site is] very professional and easy to navigate. It will serve us well when referring our guests and will be good for members to link to." said Jonathan Gimbel of Toyohari Acupuncture and Mill River BNI President.
The Mill River BNI Chapter is the Florence, MA chapter of Business Networking International, the world's largest business referral organization. Western Mass chapters of BNI generated over $12 million in closed business in 2007 with 24 chapters and approximately 450 members making up the ranks.
