Business owners and citizens are concerned about the health and overall well-being of everyone in the US. This petition is a request for in-person / hybrid meetings for BNI members across the US. ​

BNI, in the United States, previously allowed chapters, since July, to meet in-person with a hybrid option, in certain area of the country, with approval. These chapters were continually monitored by local regional offices to keep member safety the number 1 priority. In addition local regions needed to also follow the local guidelines and hold their individual chapters accountable if they needed to return online due to local mandates. In December 2020 BNI made a blanket decree for the entire US to go back online. This should be a decision made by each region based on the membership's preference.  

Please sign this petition, and email the your local Senators and Governors as well as the BNI leaders with your thoughts and concerns.  

The people making the decision are:

• Graham Weihmiller, the CEO, graham@bni.com,
• Janeen Leppert, US Franchises, janeen@bni.com,
• Dan Haggerty, BNI USA President, DanHaggerty@bni.com,
• Ivan Misner, Founder, Misner@bni.com
