People Are Talking
Since our establishment over 20 years ago, we’ve had a great track record in helping members to connect within our community and grow their businesses. Read on to learn what our members have to say about their experiences with BDN.
Contact us today to experience BDN for yourself.
At my first BDN meeting four years ago, I found what I was looking for in a business networking group, a group of like-minded professionals where the focus is establishing relationships and trust. BDN has been a successful part of my business development at Morrill Law and a deep source of knowledge and empowerment.

Unlike some business groups that measure success by the number of referrals made, BDN has allowed me to get to know the expertise of other members, trust their integrity, and feel comfortable using their services and referring them to other colleagues and friends. IÂ have generated new business from my participation in BDN and have personally used the services of many group members.

The relationships and friendships that I have developed at BDN have been invaluable in both my personal life and growing my business. I have often found that the collective wisdom of the BDN women has provided supportive insight that has helped me navigate many of the challenges of growing my business.
