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.
