My Oh My, How BNI Has Grown!
BNI’s Official 2010 Statistics


BNI officially reached the 100,000 member mark and the 5,000 chapter mark in 2007. Not bad for an organization that started in 1985 in a completely grassroots style with only one chapter and a mere handful of members. So, how has BNI grown over the past four years? Has the recession slowed us down? Of course not! -- We continue to refuse to participate, remember? Check out our 2010 statistics...

From our humble beginnings in Southern California in 1985, BNI has expanded into a truly international organization which makes it possible for small business owners and entrepreneurs around the world to grow their businesses year after year regardless of the state of the economy (Click here to read success stories from BNI members worldwide).

Each January, BNI carefully collects and analyzes data from BNI chapters, directors, and national offices across the globe in order to calculate the end-of-year statistics for the previous year. These statistics are then calculated based on two doctoral studies* and the statistics are used to measure the growth and impact of the entire organization worldwide.

If you’re wondering how BNI measured up in 2010, we're pleased to announce that you can officially stop wondering!

BNI’s Official Year-end Statistics for 2010:

BNI Chapters Worldwide: 5,866

BNI Members Worldwide: 133,971

Total Referrals Passed: 6.5 Million

Congratulations to BNI members around the world on playing such a huge part in helping the businesses of your fellow members thrive in 2010! Your dedication to the Givers Gain® philosophy is the reason this organization continues to grow and impact businesses and lives in a phenomenally positive way.

Please feel free to share BNI’s 2010 statistics during your International Networking Week® events. We can’t think of a better way to demonstrate that networking is a truly powerful and life changing tool and that BNI really is Changing the Way the World Does Business®!
