A Little Westgate Chapter History . . .

The Westgate Chapter of BNI was one of the first chapters to be established in the Toledo area and continues to be one of the most successful. The chapter was organized in 1995 and several of the founding members are still with the chapter today. Rick Turner and Terry Williams have been with our chapter for nearly 14 years. We think their longevity and continued involvement with our chapter speaks volumes for our dedication to upholding BNI standards and inducting quality members. As a result of our high level of standards and expectations, our chapter continues to flourish and has even won several awards over the years.

In 2005 we won the “Spirit Award” thanks to our level of involvement in the Annual BNI Golf Outing. The Spirit Award has been around for many years and is highly coveted by every chapter in the area. In 2006, members in our chapter also received the award for “Referral of the Year”. This award is typically given for a single referral that generated the largest financial return in the area. Along with awards, we’re also very proud of how the chapter has progressed over the years and how it continues to improve.

Currently the chapter is at an all time high in terms of growth, involvement and the amount of business we pass to each other. There’s never been a better time to visit us at Westgate. We hope you will take the time to pay us a visit and maybe even become a contributing member to our great chapter.
