April 28, 2023 – Community Impact Conference

Community Impact Conference Cover Photo

Who is leading the charge in community impact in WNY?

Do you want to see what’s possible when you make social impact a part of your business plan and can meet the needs of your community?

Are you in Non-Profit leadership and want to see what’s possible when you engage business leaders in the community who have a passion for your cause? Are you an Individual who wants to make a difference, loves giving back to the community but has yet to find that non-profit who speaks to your heart?

Whether you are a Business Owner, Corporate Leader, Non-Profit Director, or an Individual searching for a way to connect to the community, this is your opportunity to see what other companies are doing, what non-profits are out there to connect with at our Vendor Fair, and to strategize your purpose for making an impact in the community by helping others.

Social Impact, Cultural Impact, Environmental Impact, Social Governance, Social Enterprise…these are the buzzwords to the new generation of workers, business owners, and community leaders. Millennials, Gen Z and Y, want to know that in whatever they do they are making a difference. They’d rather earn less money working at a company who gives back to others.

If you want to attract, retain, and engage the future generation this is it. If you want to see the needs of your local community be met, there is always a nonprofit with boots on the ground that can help.

Ticket includes sit-down lunch and refreshments.
