Professional business networking group that meets weekly to help one another by passing referrals and using the "Givers Gain" philosophy to help one another succeed. About BNI Valley Business Partners:
BNI Valley Business Partners meets every Wednesday at 9:00 AM at American National University - Room 204, 1515 Country Club Road, Harrisonburg VA. Why was Wednesday morning chosen for the meeting date? We learned from experience that Mondays and Fridays are often inconvenient because of Holidays and weekend plans and that meetings at lunch were frequently interrupted by the server. However, anytime is a good time to meet with 20 people who like you and want to help you! About Business Network International:
