On the verge of another great networking meeting… let’s take a quick look back at the last one! 🔁

Last week, we had the pleasure of hearing from the employer & employee superhero himself — Rick Cantrell with AFLAC 🦸‍♂️🦆.
He was introduced by our legal expert Kevin Harris of Starrett & Harris Law, LLC - Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Rick reminded us that no one plans to get into an accident or be out of work... until it happens. And when it does — fear not! Super Rick and his duck sidekick are ready to swoop in and put money in your pockets 💸 to help you get through life’s unexpected curveballs.
Oh, and the coverage? Surprisingly affordable. We were all pretty shocked at how low the cost really is. 👏 Quack 🦆

Today's featured presenter was Katie Wirth of Extreme Images, LLC on Fairburn Road. She was introduced by Caitlin Duncan of All Service Floor Covering and delivered an excellent presentation on the wide variety of signage solutions Extreme Images offers. From acrylic and digital signs to neon and vehicle wraps, their work can be seen throughout Douglas, Paulding, and Carroll counties.

Katie even put our knowledge to the test with a pop quiz at the end—we did pretty well considering no one was taking notes!

We also want to recognize our Notable Networker of the Week, Maureen Gicharu of Maurina Homecare Agency! Her dedication to providing compassionate, high-quality care truly sets her apart.

Thank you, Katie, for an informative and engaging presentation, and congratulations to Maureen on this well-deserved recognition!

"Our amazing President, Jason Landers, delivered an outstanding presentation last Thursday. Jason, a highly skilled insurance agent, was introduced by Susan Hopkins, a valued member of our BNI chapter. During his presentation, Jason highlighted the importance of Commercial Auto insurance and the specific types of businesses that benefit most from these services. To provide further insight, Jason invited Mark Brown, a 38-year veteran of State Farm corporate, to speak on his behalf. Mark shared his experiences working with Jason, emphasizing his expertise as a top agent and how he stands out among the 140 agents he supports.

Jason also expressed his deep appreciation for the BNI Paulding Chapter, recognizing the strength of the network and the quality of referrals it generates. He extended this appreciation to his team, acknowledging their hard work and dedication in making their collective success possible. Jason warmly invited others to join their meetings every Thursday at 8:30 AM at the Olive Tree, encouraging anyone looking to grow their business to come and see the value of BNI firsthand."

Last week at BNI Paulding Professionals, we had the honor of hearing from one of the most compassionate individuals I know, Paige O'Neill of Musical Charities. In her exceptional 10-minute presentation, Paige highlighted the incredible work her nonprofit does to support singers, songwriters, and various charities dedicated to animals, families, and more. Her organization uses proceeds to cover essential expenses, offering critical assistance to those in need.

Paige has been a stellar member of our chapter, consistently demonstrating outstanding leadership and commitment. We're proud to share that she will soon take on the role of our next Education Coordinator. The meeting was made even more special by Christie Williams, who performed an uplifting song about life, adding a heartfelt moment to our gathering.

We were excited to welcome 12 visitors, which contributed to a vibrant and engaged atmosphere. With several new applicants in the process, our chapter continues to attract quality members eager to exchange referrals and grow their businesses.

Even though it's a bit delayed, we wanted to take a moment to shine a light on Paige's remarkable presentation. If you're interested in expanding your business through meaningful connections and high-quality referrals, we invite you to visit our Paulding Professionals Chapter. We'd love to see you there! Jason Landers
