If you’re serious about growing your business through relationships, you need more than random networking. You need a seat at the table that’s built for referrals.

At BNI Lions, you’re surrounded by local professionals who show up consistently, build trust, and look for ways to help each other win.

And here’s the best part: Membership is exclusive by profession! Only one member per professional classification. That means when you join, you’re not sitting next to your competition… you’re blocking out your competition.

Want to learn more about membership or see if your seat is open? Message us to register for a visit or connect with a BNI Lions member.

More than ever, social media for local business requires daily management. While Matty D. of ABV is proud to produce videos often used in social media campaigns, Samantha's expertise is so much more than "posting videos."

🥇LET THE GAMES BEGIN 🥇

☀️ Summer Games are here! ☀️
Get ready for a season of friendly competition, engagement, and prizes all built around simple weekly challenges designed to help you stay active and connected. BNI Central PA members are invited to participate each week for a chance to earn recognition and help their chapter climb the leaderboard.
🏆 How it works:
Starting on June 29th, every Monday a new Summer Games challenge will be posted on the regional page. From there, you’ll have until Sunday at 11:59 PM to complete that week’s challenge. Challenges will involve either commenting on a post or creating a Facebook post.
💰 Prizes:
While challenges are completed individually, there will be special recognition and rewards for the most active participants, as well as for the chapter with the highest overall participation throughout the Summer Games.

This is all about consistency, engagement, and showing up each week—so jump in, participate often, and let’s make this a strong summer of connection and visibility! ☀️🏆

The power of a good weekly commercial: it gives the whole chapter a clear lens for referrals. One strong message, one clear ask and dozens of people listening for you all week.

06/17/2026

A strong referral network isn’t built on chance. It’s built on people who pay attention, support each other, and take action. That’s the kind of community we’re proud to build every week.

Last week’s Visitors Day was a huge success❤️🖤

We had budding business owners and sales professionals join us from all over. One guest even made the trip from Selinsgrove. That kind of energy and effort is exactly what makes this community so special.

Thank you to everyone who came out to connect, learn, and support local business. If you missed this one, join us next time, or reach out to one of our members about visiting any of our weekly meetings. We’d love to welcome you in!
