As a BLN Local Leader, you will be the face of BLN in your assigned community. You’ll build and sustain a vibrant local network by engaging residents, supporting business sponsors, and hosting events that bring people together. This is a commission-based opportunity ideal for entrepreneurial leaders with a passion for community building, networking, and sales.

• Resident Events – Host one resident-only gathering each month (e.g., coffee socials, backyard movie nights, potlucks) to foster authentic connections.
• Business Networking Events – Organize one monthly sponsor event such as a networking mixer, lunch-and-learn, or workshop to reinforce sponsor ROI.
• Quarterly Block Parties – Produce large-scale events each quarter, uniting residents and sponsors with entertainment, vendor booths, and family-friendly activities.
