PNAnw

... Want to hear something neat? The numbers so far are in for the program for 2025:

Members have collectively earned just over $1000 in referral bonuses for introducing businesses to PNAnw!

How does this happen, you may ask? It's pretty simple...

• Invite people to visit ANY of our 12 chapters in the Pacific Northwest

• If the business submits an application listing you as a Sponsor; if they're approved - you earn a thank you "incentive!"

• $25/per business at a physical location and $100/per business if it's a DigitalPNA membership!

• NO CAP! (Plus the Q4 bonus raised to $50/per member at a physical chapter and $150/per DigitalPNA new member!)

Cash will be handed out to receivers of the bonuses during the PNAnw Holiday Party this December 10th!

... hey PNAnw members, don't forget to get those PNAnw Holiday Celebration 2025 RSVP's in as soon as possible please!

Catering order needs to get submitted super soon, so I need to know if it's just you, you +1, or you +__'s if you're bringing the family!

and yes, if you've not heard - Qdoba is our catering choice because it's yummy as heckers and people have been mad in the past when i've offered to change it up. SO, an amazing nacho bar with chicken, steak, veggies and all the fixins' are in your future!!!!

... a quick and much-deserved shout out to the Shoreline Chapter!

this group has literally doubled in size in 2025 and has aspirations to become the largest PNAnw chapter in the Pacific Northwest!

at the helm for his last few meetings this year as President, Kevin Barrett and his officer team have seen as many ups as they have downs, but this year they've fallen into an amazing groove of new and exciting members, categories never held before in PNAnw's history; and they all are amazing together as a team of referral-based members!

Here's to them for taking a scrappy membership of 6-8, and becoming one of our powerhouses at 16 in such a short time!

Learn more about them here, and visit them too if you want to experience an amazing chapter!

the Chapter meets Wednesdays each 1st and 3rd week each month and runs for 90 minutes! come visit, and/or ask questions below if you have them and check back for answers!

... alright PNAnw members:

a chapter needs your help, and by help i mean the Seattle chapter needs hungry guests who want to visit an awesome chapter to GROW.

the PNAnw rewards me program, if you aren't aware, pays $25 per person that lists you as a sponsor when a person submits a membership. if they're approved, YOU earn a cash incentive as a thank you for introducing a super person to a superb networking organization.

they have 6 members so far, but when attendance is low, etc.., it's clear that they need your referrals to help out.

i (PNAcentral) will pay a $50 spiff to any existing member who refers a person to the Seattle chapter that submits and app and is approved. i'll offer this for all of Q4.

Some KEY Categories needed to fill are:

• Mortgage Advisor
• Bookkeeper
• CPA
• Financial Advisor
• Property and Casualty Insurance
• General Contractor
• Commercial broker
• Website Designer
• Carpet Cleaner
• Trades... like Electrician, HVAC, Plumber, etc

So... if you like incentives, if you like helping your fellow business owners and peers connect with a great organization like PNAnw, then help us out!

Have any referrals visit the chapter next week! We'd LOVE to meet them. ZOOM Link is in the details below through the link.

… What a fun night at this year’s annual PNAnw picnic! we had a great turnout, lots of people had never met until this evening, so it was great to see all these amazing members connect with one another over food, son, and some overly aggressive ducks that began taking over the joint toward the end of the night 🙂

Lots of burgers grilled, hotdogs rolled, buns dressed up with fancy condiments, inside dishes, and smiles all over the place!

Every year we do this, people make connections, but they would’ve otherwise never made. This is why PNAnw exists. This is why events like this are successful because not only do people look forward to it, but they walk away with memories and potential opportunities too!

If you came to the picnic today, and took a picture or two, please feel free to post in the comments!!

Thank you to all who came, all who tried to figure out my mystery sautéed onion recipe (and failed) and most important; took leftovers home with them 🙂

… until next year! (or the upcoming epic Christmas party!)
