👤 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:

Jordan Porter – Chadwick Insurances 🤝

When Jordan joined our BNI chapter, his goal was simple: build a trusted network of local professionals and grow his business through meaningful relationships.

Since then, BNI has not only helped generate opportunities for Chadwick Insurances, but it has also enabled Jordan to support his clients in ways that go far beyond insurance. Through the connections he’s built within the chapter, he can confidently introduce clients to trusted experts whenever they need help with other aspects of their business or personal lives.

That’s the power of BNI — it’s not just about referrals, it’s about being surrounded by a team of professionals who genuinely want to help each other succeed.

If you’re looking to grow your business, expand your network and become part of a supportive community of local business owners, we’d love to welcome you to one of our meetings.
