The international BNI program is a business owners reference network with millions of members in over 10,000 chapters. Only one business owner from a specific type of business can be a group member.

The Pioneer Networkers, established in September 2004, have passed more than $1.3 million in referrals to local businesses.

To thank the City of Pioneer Village for letting the group meet at Becknell Hall, Pioneer Networkers donated materials and time to touch up the facility.

The main meeting room was painted while new shades, curtains and portraits were added. The front lobby and the building front exterior were also painted.

The Pioneer Networkers meet each Wednesday morning, 7 a.m., at Becknell Hall except on holidays and school closings. Breakfast is provided. For more information call Pioneer Networkers President Chad Johnson at Remax, 418-2275, or group organizer Peggy Druin at State Farm Insurance, 955-9746.
