Joe McBride’s Experience

• Executive Director

  BNI Arkansas, Inc

  (Privately Held; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  March 2000 — Present (9 years 5 months)

  After learning the BNI system as an assistand director for Connie Hinton in Washington state, my wife Kathy and I relocated to Arkansas where we now operate two BNI regions.
  
  In 2006, our Arkansas East franchise was recognized as the number one standard region in the United States in Chapter growth. We could not have done this without the work and dedication to the leadership teams in all of our chapters. Contact BNI Arkansas at 501-568-5492.

• Assistant Director

  BNI Eastern Washington

  (Privately Held; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  1998 — 2007 (9 years)

  In 1998, Connie Hinton asked me to assit her in bringing BNI to the Spokane Washington area. I worked with Connie for a little over a year and a half, and it totally changed my life. After being exposed to the BNI philosophy and learning about the systems it had developed, I looked for an opportunity for me to become a BNI Franchise owner.
  
  I had graduated from high school and college in the state of Arkansas, and still had family there. That was one of the areas where I could start a BNI region, and my wife Kathy and I chose to relocate to the Little Rock area and start BNI there.
