LuAnn, I was a member of TNI for about 5 months (TNI is a knock off of BNI created by a former head honcho of BNI); membership and quarterly fees were about $200 a pop (I think it included lunch for each week but I could be wrong--it's been over a year since I dropped it). It works for some people. I think you may want to check a couple of things from your chapter before joining: how many people come each week? what business are they in? and what is their network scope? I was in a small group (8-10 people) that were in categories that I had a hard time referring other people to (Mary Kay, Italian Charms, Wellness, Divorce Attorney--and that's half of the people!). I found it difficult to transition my customers to these areas. There are requirements to attend and have referrals every week or pay penalties (like $1). That's a bit more than you asked for. Hope it helps.

I just got an invitation to join our local chapter and was curious if anyone knows about their fees? Thanks LuAnn @ Image Embroidery Because Your "Image" Matters
