Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to join BDN?
Membership costs $200 per calendar year, paid semi-annually ($100 in January and $100 in July).
What is the format of a typical BDN meeting?
We begin each meeting at 7:45 AM with 15 minutes of networking. The meeting itself starts at 8:00 AM and ends promptly at 9:00 AM. A typical meeting starts with member introductions and sharing of leads, needs, recommendations and kudos, followed by a member presentation or roundtable discussion.
What is required of me as a member?
BDN members support each other, attend a majority of the monthly meetings, and participate in our community. We don’t require members to refer to each other. That will happen naturally as we get to know each other and learn what we have to offer each other.
Is there a limit of one person per industry?
We limit our membership to one member per industry. However, we do allow two people in the same industry if they have different areas of expertise. For instance, we would allow two lawyers if one was a real estate attorney and another one was a divorce attorney. Have questions about this? Please reach out to us.
How do I join BDN?
We invite you to be our guest and attend one of our monthly meetings to learn about us and see if we’re a good fit for you. After you attend one or two of our monthly meetings, ask for a membership application to apply for membership. Guests may attend up to 2 meetings for free.
