We have open categories for individuals who will bring enthusiasm and integrity to our meeting. http://bnimn.com/mn-minnesota-connections/

Just one person per professional specialty is allowed in each chapter. BNI members, on average, increase their business 20% the first year. Our chapter is a dynamic, committed group of business people who know how to refer business to each other. Search our members to see if your category is open, then visit a meeting and lock out your competition!

We had a great meeting last Thursday. Jason Daly of ProPainters Inc. took home the prized C.O.W. (Commercial of the Week) award with anofficial decree honoring our realtor, Mary Pat Nydahl of The Nydahl Group - Edina Realty. She's amazing and speaking of amazing, so is our Hootie award winner, Skylar Watson of Bleu Sky Cleaning.

This week's meeting should be excellent with Scott Ellich of Bedrock Restoration scheduled as our 10-minute speaker. Want to join us to hear what Scott has to say? It's easy, double check to see if your business category is open...

We had a great meeting this morning under our new leadership. Thank you Jim Oelhafen, Laura Olson & Jeff Hames for stepping up and leading our Connections Chapter.

We also celebrated our weekly winners of the Hootie and Duckie awards. Congratulations to last year's leadership team for winning the Hootie award. Congratulations to Mike Sturgis for taking the "Duckie" award honors again this week for the commercial of the week. That's two in a row for Mike. Stop in next week to see if anyone can deliver a better commercial than Mike.

It's not every day our speaker sweeps both of our awards for the day: the hootie award for inviting the most visitors recently, and the COW for being voted best commercial of the week. Laura Olson of Tried and True Digital Marketing also brings the most fantastic Valentines day cookies. She does it all!
