“I received my first compliment ever from my father-in-law after 5 years of marriage. It was right after Jacob handled my lawncare.” -Scott Dehnke

Success isn’t always measured by numbers or statistics, but by the impact left in a person‘s life. We had the pleasure of hearing from Jacob Thifault as he shared the exciting way is JIT Lawn Care is expanding and contributing to our community, along with this hilarious testimonial from Scott Dehnke.

You can always count on consistency from a true professional.
During his recent presentation, Travis Summit delivered valuable insights while wearing the same shirt from his BNI profile photo. Turns out his reliability in business extends also to his wardrobe.

If you’re looking for a businessman you can depend on, Travis is the one.

When professionals come together with shared values, the results speak for themselves.

This year, our Excellence in Networking chapter celebrates 30 years of connection, collaboration, and community impact. Together, we’ve passed over $59 million in closed business since our founding.

Here’s to three decades of building relationships that drive real results.

Consistency and generosity are the foundation of great networking.
