Tony Allwood replied to Mariska Mannes's discussion Leadership 9 month term?"Maybe a simple solution might also be to stagger the change in roles, so that thre is continuity of ideas and efforts from the rest of the team, it also would keep giving the new blood to feed the leadership."
Niki Gunning replied to Mariska Mannes's discussion Leadership 9 month term?"Great points Mike - that Christmas break is a killer. It seems that often chapters don't really get started until February. I like the idea of the dates you have put it.
Also those winter months can seem long - changing in the middle of this…"
Mike Tennent replied to Mariska Mannes's discussion Leadership 9 month term?"The biggest part of the problem is the Xmas break... Leaders for that period are just getting started when they stop for the break, then they get back and after a month or so they are being asked to help find a new team.
I suggested recently to…"
Anna Mooney replied to Mariska Mannes's discussion Leadership 9 month term?"Mariska I would agree. I have been president for 8 months as our chapter officially started in September 2009. Time has flown and cannot believe my term is up. Before that I was VH. Building this chapter to where it is has been fantastic, and feel…"
Mariska Mannes replied to Mariska Mannes's discussion Leadership 9 month term?"Thanks Amanda
Yes it would be a problem when the leadership is not doing so well. But as you said sometimes it feels like you have just started and then it is time to go, especially if you have set some really constructive goals which you are in the…"
Amanda Shewen replied to Mariska Mannes's discussion Leadership 9 month term?"From a personal point of view I like the idea. My time as VP went really fast and I would have been prepared to do longer.

Welcome!
Here are some ideas to get you started on the BNIonline site;
-Got to your ‘My Page’ and fill in the gaps:
- Your status (not whether you’re married, but what you’re working on, or thinking about)
- Your profile information (about you, your web address etc)
- Upload your profile pic (very important!!)
- Do you have any BNI / business pics or vids to share?
- Add some ‘apps’ to your page (applications eg RSS adds in your other blog feed)
-Leave a message for another member on their ‘wall’.
-Add a discussion eg; what’s a recurring issue for BNI members?
-Ask a question eg; what’s the diference between a lead and a referral? Do you know of a good commercial photographer? Etc etc
-Set up a group eg BNI Head Office, BNI Newbies etc etc.
-Or start your own blog eg; about working at BNI, about networking tips etc
Have fun :)
