Good morning, everyone! Today I want to talk about something that often gets overlooked, but plays a big role in the health of our chapter—having a substitute when you can’t make a meeting.

Good morning, everyone. Today, I want to talk about something that keeps our chapter strong: balance. BNI runs on Givers Gain®.
