The Story of the Tribes Chapter
The BNI Tribes chapter based in Galway was launched in June 2009 with one common shared goal in mind - to grow each others businesses. Successful business depends on word-of- mouth referrals and BNI ’s unique approach offers a cost effective form of referral generation.

The relationships you develop will convert network contacts into referred business.
