At this month's chapter meetings, we announced the members who are officially in the Green.

This isn't about one big week or a lucky referral. It's about showing up, doing the work, and staying consistent - week after week, chapter after chapter.

Shout out to our green members:

Deborah Meurlin of BNI Alliance Builders
Kirandeep Kaur of BNI Excelsior
AJ Forrest and Dale Van Nimwegen of BNI Founders
Tina Arroyo and Brent Feldweg of BNI Gateway
Gina Buchanan and Anthony "Tony" Vuocolo of BNI Online Millionaire Makers
Lino Meddogni and Rich McHale of BNI Patriots
Lauren Stillman and Bruce Cheriff of BNI Pinnacle Networkers
Meredith Rhoades of BNI Power Lunch
Charles Beverly, Heather Casto and Maria Sciuto of BNI Powerhouse Connections
Norbin Cruz and Jason Packer of BNI Roundtable

And a special shout out to Charles Beverly of BNI Powerhouse Connections for earning a perfect 100. That's not easy to do, Charles - way to set the standard.

If you see someone from your chapter on this list, reach out and set up a 1-to-1. These are the members who are in the room, doing the work, and building the relationships that lead to real referrals. They are absolutely worth getting to know better.
