BNI was brought to Northern Indiana in late 1995 by Mark Botts, owner of Doors & Drawers, Inc. Doors & Drawers is a cabinet refacing company and Mark was looking for a referral organization that "worked", so his sales reps could participate and generate new business for the company.Having seen BNI "work" in Toledo, Ohio Mark volunteered to become a BNI Director to start a couple of chapters in the area to benefit his refacing company, and it has! BNI also worked very well for other business professionals. The "couple of chapters" have now turned into 27 with almost 600 members in the Northern Indiana Region. BNI Works!
