Spring is here and now is the time to start making new business connections. Area business professionals are invited to visit the Westport Business Networking International (BNI) Chapter. This dynamic group of business professionals is seeking new members in specific business categories.
Currently, weekly BNI meetings are held on Zoom but will resume to a hybrid or in-person format sometime this summer or fall. Classifications that are open include: interior designer, home inspector, developer, heating and air conditioning contractor, fitness club or personal trainer, chef, and attorneys that practice estate and elder law.
The group is comprised of 48 members, all experienced professionals at the top of their fields. Not only are they a tremendous resource for each other, but the group represents a top-flight network of business services and solutions in Fairfield County.

Angel Garcia, a single father approved for a mortgage loan of $300,000, had high hopes in early 2020 of finding a house he could afford in his hometown of Stamford, Connecticut.
Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Within months, New Yorkers began fleeing the city and the surrounding area, snapping up houses. Home prices that already had been out of reach for many jumped higher. Garcia, who oversees security at Stamford’s government building, ended the year still living with his 3-year-old daughter in a Stamford rental.
“It’s so hard with all the competition out here and the prices, as they are now. They were already expensive,” said Garcia, who has a second job as a security guard.
