The Niagara Business Associates meets the first and third Friday of each month at the Buffalo Club. (388 Delaware Avenue Buffalo, New York 14202) Meetings run from 7:30 am – 9:00 am. Note: At least one “Annual” Club Business meeting will be scheduled.
On occasion, meetings and/or tours may be held at other locations, such as member offices or other sites, to provide a “behind-the-scenes” look at their business operations. Giving precedence to Club member’s business updates, we also encourage members to invite interesting guest speakers. Vetted by the Events Committee and approved by the membership body, these presentations may include, educational sessions, regional business issues that may impact the Buffalo-Niagara Region and any topic of interest of general Club interest.
