Professional standards outlined in a formal code of conduct for any profession supersede the above standard.

Non-Discrimination Disclosure Statement:  BNI Headquarters require that chapters review and select persons for membership in all job classifications based on qualifications without regard to race, color, gender, religion, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, age, or disability.  BNI will support no chapter's action when in violation of this non-discrimination statement.
