BNI Conway Natural Networkers

Thank you to all of our Visitors this morning during our Visitor’s Day! We had 18 visitors and 2 subs. If you haven’t already joined, we would love to invite you back next week for a look at our regular meeting agenda.

We are so proud to have Travis Long, owner of JDog Junk Removal & Hauling Conway and decorated U.S. veteran, speaking to local businesses this Thursday downtown Conway! 🇺🇸

He and his family have built something truly special right here in our community, and we know you’ll walk away inspired.

This is your personal invitation to hear about their history and services. Just bring yourself or bring a friend.

Coffee, friendly folks, and a great upbeat way to start your day.

Autumn had the title.
A national team.
A million dollar budget.
A calendar full of executive meetings.

Then one day in 2026 she traded it all in… to make a leap of faith… into her own small business right here in Faulkner County, Arkansas.

Autumn recently revealed some of her story with a weekly group of business owners and leaders at The Max Event Venue.

She’ll be sharing insights she gleaned from years in the marketing world - early morning on April 9th.

Attendance for visitors is free, message us to learn how you can join us for tips on some of her services:

Here she is with Homeward Realty and Events Rental and Floral - you can also meet with them and lots of other locals regularly for networking and collaboration.

We support Bethlehem House, Inc. and humbly ask that give in any amount TODAY since it will be doubled by a generous match.

They truly help Conway’s homeless and the effects ripple throughout our community.

Please do something good.

✨ It’s Giving Tuesday! ✨
Today is one of the most powerful days of the year to support the mission of Bethlehem House — and this year, your gift can go TWICE as far. We are excited to share that we have a $10,000 matching donation, which means every dollar you give today will be doubled until we reach that match.

Why give to Bethlehem House?

Because your support changes real lives.

Recently, we welcomed a mom and her two young children who had been living out of their car after escaping an unsafe situation. They arrived with almost nothing—but with the stability of Bethlehem House, they quickly had a warm room, healthy meals, case management, and the support they needed to rebuild. Today, she has steady employment, the kids are thriving in school, and the family is preparing to move into their own home. That transformation happened because people like you believed in them.

When you give to Bethlehem House, you’re not just donating…
You’re offering hope, safety, and a real chance for families to start again.

🌟 Give today and watch your impact multiply — your $25 becomes $50, your $100 becomes $200, and together we can unlock the full $10,000 match.
Let’s make today a day of generosity, compassion, and community.
Donate now and help us change lives—two-fold. 💙

Insurance Isn’t What It Used to Be — and That’s a Good Thing!

Join us for insight from the inside — on the changing landscape of personal insurance this THURSDAY morning.

Over the past few years, the world of home, auto, and personal insurance has shifted dramatically.

•rising repair costs
•climate-related claims
•evolving fraud prevention
•even AI-driven underwriting
…are rewriting the old playbook.

Meanwhile, carriers are emphasizing
•proactive risk reduction (scary! 👻)
•digital access
•personalized coverage over one-size-fits-all policies.

Whether you’re a homeowner, driver, or simply curious about how to keep up with these changes, this session will help you understand:

✅ What’s driving premium changes
✅ How insurers are redefining “risk”
✅ New opportunities to save through smarter protection choices

THURSDAY, OCT 23 7am

Come learn what’s changing — and how to make sure your coverage still protects what matters most.

Comment or message us for your personal invite to this private but friendly & welcoming get-together.

We’ll be downtown Conway featuring Caroline from Farris Agency Inc.

You’ll still have plenty of time for your regular routine.
