About BNI Valley Business Partners:

BNI Valley Business Partners is the chapter designated by BNI as Group #2603 (formerly Harrisonburg #2). We meet every Monday at 11:30 AM at McAlister's Deli, 1645 Reservoir Road (at Evelyn Byrd Ave., in the Forbes Crossing center), Harrisonburg, VA 22801. This group started meeting in the Spring of 2002 and became a BNI chapter in August 2002. Some of the original members are Kevin Russell, Ellen Shaver Shank, Darren Warble, and Rob Wimer.

Why was Monday chosen for the meeting date? Can you think of a better way to begin the week with 20 people who like you and want to help you?
