Who Should Become A Member?

If you are an executive or manager who is responsible for delivering business growth for your company, membership represents a valuable opportunity to not only enhance your own professional network, but to increase your ability to find and develop partners that can contribute to your company's success. BDI can be a valuable extension to your already established network as well as a comprehensive knowledge source that helps you stay at the forefront of issues and opportunities that are relevant to your professional success.

BDI members include a broad and impressive group of executives and professionals across a diverse range of industries. The functional diversity of our members, coupled with their shared desire to develop new and incremental business opportunities, provides for a fertile network of like-minded professionals.

BDI was founded on the principal that strong, mutually beneficial relationships that are built on trust represent the foundation for business success. As such, the BDI membership base has been built almost entirely on an organic basis - through personal referrals from our existing members. We carefully screen all member applicants to insure the highest quality of professionals.

How Does Membership Work?

To protect the integrity of the BDI network and the privacy of our members, all member applicants will be carefully screened. Prospective members are required to complete and submit an online application form at www.bdionline.com. Upon submission, your application will be reviewed and a BDI representative will schedule an introduction call to further review your application and answer any questions you may have about BDI. Upon completion of your introduction call, your final application will be reviewed and a BDI representative will contact you to inform you of your application status. This is a simple process, but one that we feel is necessary to help insure that our network of members is a consistent blend of individuals focused on business development, who are able to contribute to the valuable collaboration we foster.
