Currently, the program allows you to get credit for activities such as listening to podcasts, going to MSP and other happenings. We have expanded it to many activities. Let’s say you have a one to one with your BNI Director… then when you enter your CEU on your BNI APP, where it says MEMBER SUCCESS PROGRAM click it because you had a 1-2-1 WITH A BNI DIRECTOR/AMBASSADOR and get 2 points! You get 3 points for going to a Networking Event by clicking Leadership Team Training! Your chapter can even add categories to the CEU program or award a bonus category each month!
