Just over eight weeks ago, from September 21-22, BNI Israel was privileged to host the first BNI Members' Conference with guests of honor Elisabeth and Dr. Ivan Misner. 

The Directors' Day was full of activities and networking among Directors visiting from England, Germany, Cyprus, and South Africa.  The training was conducted by Dr. Misner, Phil Burg, and Sam Schwartz.

Interaction between the local Directors and visitors was in the spirit of Givers Gain®; each evening we had a joint meal and exchanged stories and ideas.

We would like to thank Beth Misner, Co-founder and Administrator of the BNI-Misner Foundation for the donation to Beit Apel.

The second day was the main event which drew over 500 participants and was combined with the launch of The 29% Solution Hebrew language edition.

The participants were treated to a variety of speeches and panel discussions with guest speakers from England and the USA and Fred Johnson opened the program with an entertaining presentation.

We look forward to hosting future BNI events in Israel and are extremely pleased that the bar has been set high.

I (Sam Schwartz) would like to take this opportunity to personally thank all who attended this event and helped to make it so memorable.  Thank you to Team BNI Israel, headed by Yarden Noy.
