At each BRN networking meeting, members are encouraged to share information about themselves and their businesses. We all discuss the highlights of our companies and what our ideal referral would be.

This allows the other members to get a deeper understanding of their company and the strengths and talents of the individual so-as to better be able to send them referrals that fit their business model.
