Hello members,

We are excited to be welcoming you all from across our region to our Annual Regional Awards Breakfast on Friday, 24 July, with a 6:45am arrival for a 7:00am start. This year, we'll have 21 chapters represented and more than 350 members coming together to celebrate another incredible year of business, relationships, and success. We look forward to recognising the members and chapters who have demonstrated what is possible when you commit to the BNI system.

While the awards recognise outstanding achievements, the real value of the morning is much bigger than the trophies. Every finalist and every winner have developed habits that have helped them build trust, generate quality referrals, strengthen relationships, and grow their business. Their success leaves clues. By celebrating these achievements together, we create an opportunity for every member to learn what great looks like and to take those ideas back to their own chapter and business.

Recognition is one of BNI's Core Values because it inspires all of us to raise our standard. Whether you're receiving an award this year or simply cheering on your fellow members, you're part of something much bigger—a region committed to helping each other succeed. We encourage you to celebrate every nominee, congratulate every winner, and ask one simple question: "What did you do differently?" The answer might be the next step in growing your own business.

Want to learn from members who consistently get results? Listen to Episode 650: The Gratitude Effect and Episode 751: An Intentional One-to-One. They highlight the habits that build stronger relationships, more referrals, and long-term success in BNI.

This month's challenge: At the Awards Breakfast, introduce yourself to someone from another chapter, congratulate a nominee or winner, and ask them, "What's one habit or action that has had the biggest impact on your success in BNI?" Then choose one idea and put it into practice over the next 30 days.

Warm regards,

BNIMC Executive Team

Frederick, Carlie, Nedda & Marina
