How to Join

About Us

We are a group of local business owners with over 30 years of experience in weekly, relationship-driven networking. Our focus is simple: to actively support, use, and refer one another’s businesses.

While our foundation is built on face-to-face connections, we also embrace technology when it adds value and supports meaningful collaboration. We intentionally keep our overhead low so membership fees remain accessible and participation delivers a strong return on investment.

To protect the value of each member’s seat, we allow only one member per business category. This ensures clear referrals, trusted partnerships, and real growth.

We meet online most weeks and gather in person once a month.

 

Why Join Business Growth Innovators?

• Receive qualified business referrals designed to generate real revenue.
• Gain access to clients and opportunities you wouldn’t reach on your own.
• Promote your business directly—no outside speakers, just members spotlighting their services.
• Showcase your product or service on a scheduled rotation.
• Enjoy category exclusivity—your direct competitors are not allowed to join.
• Attend efficient, focused meetings that start at 8:00 a.m. and end promptly at 9:00 a.m.
• Join a vetted group—each member is inspected and approved through a formal vote.
• Benefit from a proven meeting format refined over 30+ years.
• Participate in a professionally run organization led by a Board of Directors.

How to Join BGI:

• Complete a brief inspection and interview:
  • A current member will meet with you to conduct an interview and answer any of your questions.
• Membership review:

• Final approval and payment:
  • Once approved, you will be notified of your membership status, asked for payment, and invited to attend the next meeting as an official member!
• Membership costs are as follows:
  • $75 — one-time membership setup fee

Welcome aboard—we’re glad you’re here.
