Profile Information

Which BNI chapter do you belong to?
BNI New Zealand
About me:
Born in the UK and emigrated to NZ with my family in 1998. I attended the launch of the first BNI chapter in the UK in 1996 and assembled the core group for what was to become the third chapter. I started BNI in NZ at the start of 1999 - and in so doing turned my back on a 15 year career as a Commercial Property Valuer (Registered Valuer). Currently I am looking at developing my spiritual side and am juggling the running of BNI NZ with a Masters in Psychotherapy. My goal is to help businesses to enter into a new spirit of cooperation and working together - embracing 'Givers Gain' and of working alongside community organisations such as Hospice. Last year (2009) BNI NZ raised over $100,000 for Hospice - something that I am very proud about!
My business name:
BNI New Zealand
About my business:
We have launched our Social Media plan for BNI in NZ - looking at ways of integrating our PR & Marketing with on line social networking for our members. Thank you for joining this site and I hope that you find it worthwhile. As always - we are always pleased to receive feedback/suggestions as to how we can make this better.
Kind Regards,

Graham Southwell

Hi Graham
Thank you for joining my online network, I feel this online social networking is a great way to meet new people and just like our BNI meetings every week educate each other about our business, and hope fully one day referrals will start flying this way as well. Good luck and hope to chat soon, Tracey @Tigerzi Design

And don't you all do an amazing job. I am always very grateful and so impressed with how everything is organised for us. I wonder if chapters need to know the logistics around organizing this -so they have more understanding of the importance of them doing their bit in a timely fashion.
Thanks you guys for the amazing work you do with organizing all of this.

Thank you Graham I look forward to sharing with other BNI members. If anyone from the Chapter is visiting/holidaying in Newcastle Australia I would be happy for them to attend a meeting at BNI400 as my visitor.

Hi there Graham
Presented to Surf Life saving - northern region on Sunday. It is always great to get to work with these young ones. It was about networking and needless to say BNI got a big mention.
Off to Nelson today to do MSP and LTT in Blenhiem.
