Why can BNI members join Schmooze?
Alas, we found the two groups are mutually incompatible in philosophy and their approach to networking. After complaints from members and guests over an 18 month period on the way some of the BNI members were behaving and breaching our Policies, we took a stand and asked those individuals to leave (with a pro rata refund) and do not accept BNI members at our events. We felt we had a duty of care to both preserve the cultureof our network and the comfort level for our members and guests.
