I work for a company that gives me the ability to help people when they are faced with disasters. I have learned a lot about sincere empathy and still manage to produce results that truly help people during and after a loss situation. I have always enjoyed being a person that can be counted on. I want every opportunity to show people that I can be your “go to guy.” If I don’t have the answer or ability to directly help, I know someone that can. That is what BNI has done for me. BNI has reinforced the “what you give is what you get” philosophy I grew up with. It has also put me in contact with professionals that can be counted on. BNI has also given me the confidence to be more assertive in helping people. Without the experience of BNI, I still might be a little shy around people and not put myself out there. That is why I love my chapter and made a commitment to my fellow members to grow our group and really achieve the success we are all looking for. If you were to tell me five years ago that I would be president of anything, I probably would have laughed. Now I look forward to the weekly honor of being the “go to guy” for a group of enthusiastic professionals.
Steve Bennett – President
