Our BNI chapter, Circle of Trust (COT), has 2 huge seats open—Property & Casualty Insurance (local personal lines broker wanted) AND as of May 21st we’ll have a Residential Realtor spot open. For one of these to be open in a chapter is extremely rare. For both to be open simultaneously is unheard of. We are doing a “stack day” next Tuesday morning, May 7, at 7:45am at our monthly in-person meeting at the Williamson County Board of Realtors office in Round Rock.

For the P&C seat, We welcome quality go-getter candidates who own their own insurance brokerage or who are long-term employees of such a brokerage, and who are willing to “buy-in” completely to BNI and its obligations and best practices so they get the most out of it.

We are a chapter of over 50 members, we’re highly motivated, and we pass over $3Million in documented, closed business within our chapter alone every year. If you or someone you know is interested in filling one of these seats, please register or have them register at the link below.
