... alright PNAnw members:

a chapter needs your help, and by help i mean the Seattle chapter needs hungry guests who want to visit an awesome chapter to GROW.

the PNAnw rewards me program, if you aren't aware, pays $25 per person that lists you as a sponsor when a person submits a membership. if they're approved, YOU earn a cash incentive as a thank you for introducing a super person to a superb networking organization.

they have 6 members so far, but when attendance is low, etc.., it's clear that they need your referrals to help out.

i (PNAcentral) will pay a $50 spiff to any existing member who refers a person to the Seattle chapter that submits and app and is approved. i'll offer this for all of Q4.

Some KEY Categories needed to fill are:

• Mortgage Advisor
• Bookkeeper
• CPA
• Financial Advisor
• Property and Casualty Insurance
• General Contractor
• Commercial broker
• Website Designer
• Carpet Cleaner
• Trades... like Electrician, HVAC, Plumber, etc

So... if you like incentives, if you like helping your fellow business owners and peers connect with a great organization like PNAnw, then help us out!

Have any referrals visit the chapter next week! We'd LOVE to meet them. ZOOM Link is in the details below through the link.

… What a fun night at this year’s annual PNAnw picnic! we had a great turnout, lots of people had never met until this evening, so it was great to see all these amazing members connect with one another over food, son, and some overly aggressive ducks that began taking over the joint toward the end of the night 🙂

Lots of burgers grilled, hotdogs rolled, buns dressed up with fancy condiments, inside dishes, and smiles all over the place!

Every year we do this, people make connections, but they would’ve otherwise never made. This is why PNAnw exists. This is why events like this are successful because not only do people look forward to it, but they walk away with memories and potential opportunities too!

If you came to the picnic today, and took a picture or two, please feel free to post in the comments!!

Thank you to all who came, all who tried to figure out my mystery sautéed onion recipe (and failed) and most important; took leftovers home with them 🙂

… until next year! (or the upcoming epic Christmas party!)

... upon being asked recently which locations have 10+ members, then gladly answering times, weekly days, etc for an interested small business; it feels right to also post this graphic from some internal tracking tools showcasing chapter growth.

the goal is to have each chapter at 15+ by year's end in order to truly double if not triple the amount of potential referrals each member could receive!

growth is good, and it's also amazing to see smaller groups performing on the same level as some over 15!

* "Brick" locations are physical meeting spaces, zoom or onsite

** DigitalPNA is a 2x monthly chapter, meeting solely online, covering all of WA and 2 other states due to a wide membership reach.

... WELCOME TO OUR Q3 NEW MEMBERS!

PNAnw has been stunned and is incredibly grateful for the amount of unexpected growth that the 12 chapters in the Pacific Northwest has experienced!

Our reach grows every single week, and we've got chapters in so many locations it just proves that when you network RIGHT, members benefit.

... what happens when you mix a radio host who's a member, a chapter's guest, and cousins in an unexpected radio shout-out?

… PNAnw had its first booth ever at the amazing Mill Creek Festival weekend event. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, between 3-4 PNAnw members participated with shared booth space in order to showcase their products and/or services as well as share a little something about their experience as a member.

feedback was positive overall from all who participated, and it feels like most gained a lot of exposure and many received a # of potential leads.

PNAnw itself seemed well recognized by folks who exclaimed a number of thoughts such as “great idea,” and “this would be perfect for my business!,” and we couldn’t agree more.

This company couldn’t exist without its members, so it felt right bringing a bunch of them forward to share not only what they do, but how MEMBERSHIP has benefited them.

really happy how this turned out.
can’t wait until PNAnw comes back even bigger and better next July!!!

*if any booth businesses captured booth pics, please share in comments!!
