She added, "I love that members of BNI have been the ones making the rules - that the people who are in the trenches have a say in how the organization is run. I'd love to be one of those people, and I think I'm a good person to do so."

Dr. Mindi Palmer Fried will now be acting as a liaison between BNI members and BNI Headquarters and will be periodically providing Dr. Ivan Misner, BNI's Founder & Chairman, with important feedback which will help further the organization and continue to allow its membership to prosper.
