Second Monday of Every Month | 8:30 AM | Virtual via Zoom

Your Voice Matters. Your Business Matters. You Belong in the Conversation.

NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara invites chapter members to join our monthly Advocacy Committee meetings to discuss public policy, share perspectives, and strengthen the collective voice of women business owners.

Our advocacy is nonpartisan and bipartisan. We focus on policies that affect women-owned businesses, not political parties or candidates. We welcome members across the political spectrum and encourage respectful dialogue, diverse perspectives, and opportunities to find common ground.

Belonging is central to our committee. You do not need political experience, a particular viewpoint, or familiarity with public policy to participate. Whether you want to learn, contribute ideas, or advocate for issues affecting your business, your voice is valued.

Meeting Details

When: Second Monday of every month at 8:30 AM Eastern
Where: Virtual via Zoom
Who: Current NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara chapter members

Interested in joining? Email info@nawbowny.org to receive calendar invitations, Zoom information, and upcoming meeting agendas.

Every voice brings value. Together, we strengthen the future of women-owned businesses.

More Ways to Connect. More Reasons to Belong.

Our events are just one way to connect, learn, and build meaningful relationships. Whether you’re attending a NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara gathering or exploring opportunities hosted by our members and community partners, there’s always something happening across WHY. Here’s what distinguishes our Chapter Events from Community Events.

Chapter Events are organized and hosted by NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara. These include monthly dinner meetings, held on the second Wednesday of each month, September through June, along with workshops, networking gatherings, and special events.

Community Events are hosted by our members, partners, and other organizations throughout WNY. These include educational programs, networking opportunities, fundraisers, and other events that support women business owners and our broader business community.
