BNI Maple Grove - NW Suburban Networkers

When the government needs your property for a public project, who's in your corner? ⚖️ Jon Morphew of Morphew Law Office represents property owners only in eminent domain and relocation cases, helping them pursue the just compensation they're entitled to. Great referrals for Jon: commercial property owners, businesses facing a taking of the space they occupy, and the brokers, realtors and attorneys who work with them.

Peter Will of UniversalPromo, Inc. walked us through all the ways his Maple Grove shop can put a logo or marking on just about anything: pad printing for small parts and irregular surfaces, full-color digital printing, and permanent laser engraving. 🖨️ They're also a go-to for medical device pad printing. Know a medical device maker, metal fabricator or plastic injection molder? Peter is the person to meet.

Thanks to our recent feature presenters! Tim Doran of Maple Grove City Lifestyle talked about sharing the stories of the people and businesses in our community. Steve Edwards of CertaPro Painters - NW Metro walked us through the range of jobs his team takes on, from residential and custom designs to residential and commercial exteriors. Jeff Nelson of Bob & Carl's Auto Body and Glass shared how his team works with honesty and integrity and takes the stress out of dealing with insurance companies.

At a recent meeting, Dan Asleson of ACELA Consulting showed us how his team does IT differently: every client gets a fractional CIO, a 24/7 security operations center, and one fixed monthly fee. The goal is to catch and fix problems before they cost a business time and money. 💻 A great referral for Dan is a healthcare, manufacturing, legal or accounting office with 8+ employees that's tired of paying for break-fix IT.

Happy birthday to Rory Morse of Stone Arch Law! 🎂 Rory helps families plan ahead with wills, trusts and estate planning, and we're glad to have him in the room on Tuesdays. Join us in wishing Rory a great year!

Congratulations to our own Al Coleman of SWBC Mortgage, named to the 2026 Super Mortgage Professionals list by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine and Twin Cities Business!

The honor is based on ratings from homebuyers he has actually worked with, which says a lot about how he takes care of people. You can find Al in this month's issues of both magazines.

For those of us who see Al every Tuesday morning, this is no surprise. If you or someone you know is buying a home or refinancing, reach out to Al at 612-558-1217.
