Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to visit?
Your first visit is free — dinner options are available. If you decide to apply for membership, our Membership Committee will walk you through the investment and ROI.
Can someone else in my category join after me?
No. BNI's one-person-per-category rule means once you're accepted, no one in your category can join Coastal Connections for as long as you hold the seat.
How soon will I start getting referrals?
Most new members see qualified referrals within the first 2–4 weeks as the chapter gets to know your business and ideal client.
