September Monthly Dinner Meeting: Expedited Networking
2023-09-13 17:30 - 20:00 | Sto Lat Bar, 4475 Transit Rd., Suite 108, Buffalo, 14221
Sponsored by:

Relationships are the foundation of NAWBO. We listened to our members who asked for more opportunities to get to know one another better. In September, our dinner meeting will be an “expedited networking” event, a lively business version of speed dating, but just a little slower and more intentional. You’ll spend ten minutes with up to five attendees.

Grow your network of business contacts quickly and effectively
Meet more people in a short amount of time
Possibly find referral partners and open up to new opportunities
Make connections in a fun and focused format

We’ll provide ice-breaker questions to get the ball rolling but you’ll are free to explore any topic you’d like.
Also, please consider staying at the venue after the meeting adjourns to continue the conversations.

Member Speaker Series - Community Connections
2024-03-13 17:00 - 20:00 | Curly’s Grille, 647 Ridge Rd., Lackawanna, NY, 14218, United States
Wednesday, March 13, 2024
5:00 to 8:00 pm

Kelly Metras, co-owner of Salena’s Mexican Restaurant and co-founder of BOSSY, is a pessimistic optimist and believes that it is our job as local business owners to make our communities better. She believes that community engagement should be the primary focus of businesses, as we are only as strong as the community that we do business in; if our communities are failing to thrive, it is a direct reflection of the businesses surrounding them.
Kelly is taking on her 7th and 8th businesses in 2024, and has learned that the “way” we are taught is not the “way” that people need to be led. She has learned to take the things she was taught as a Special Ed teacher in a school for behaviorally challenged teens and implement them into her workplace. The response has been exceptional.
Kelly’s belief in a community centered approach is reflected in all of her life choices. She is cautious and aware of how her money is recycled back into the local economy, and supports grassroots organizations in any way that she can, often through advertising dollars and partnerships. The focus of many of these partnerships are grassroots organizations that have the goal to lift those in the community that are disproportionally affected by deep-seeded racist policies and practices.

Considering joining NAWBO?

Join us via Zoom on April 17 from 7 to 8 pm.
OUR ASK: forward this invitation to a woman-owned business who wants to connect.
BONUS!! One lucky attendee will receive a complimentary week-long Bright and Happy Life Mentorship – a text-based organizing solution.
Pick one space you want to relax in more (i.e. family room), get more done in (i.e. office), or prep for summer activities (i.e. closets). Simply text your daily goal to Aly Luccari of Bright Organizing Solutions and she will give rock solid advice to make sure that goal is quickly and efficiently accomplished.
