I have two open seats in local BNI chapters right now and I’d really love to fill them with the right people.

We’re looking for:

• A residential real estate agent in Thurston County
• A residential mortgage lender in Kitsap County

Both chapters are established, consistent, and built around real relationships — not just passing business cards. These are referral-driven groups of professionals who show up for each other every week.

If someone comes to mind, would you connect us? Or feel free to message me.

The right fit matters.

Family Success Northwest is raising funds for their Rise of the Resilient Parent Conference. A small piece of their vision statement is that they seek to work in cooperation with families of traumatized children. I wish my family had had access to organizations like this when my mom passed away and my younger sister lived in foster homes.

There may still be spots available to sponsor. Call Mike Canfield at 323-985-8292 to find out more or if the QR code doesn't work.
