The Buffalo Niagara Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) recognized two of its members at the chapter’s annual meeting on Wednesday, June 13th at the Park Country Club.

Marcia Brogan, NAWBO Buffalo Niagara’s immediate past president and owner of Marcia C. Brogan Agency, LLC, was recognized as the 2018 Member of the Year. She created the chapter’s outreach program, “Start a Conversation,” which brings together women entrepreneurs and female high school students. During its 5-week inception in 2018, nearly 40 NAWBO mentors met with 250 students from across Western New York.

The chapter also honored Alora Gross of Ruby Ribbon Shapeware with its 2018 Inspiration Award. Alora serves on the NAWBO Buffalo Niagara Board of Directors and is a past co-chair of the chapter’s premier annual networking event, Each One Reach One, which attracts more than 300 participants.

Congratulations to Marcia and Alora and thank you for your continued inspiration.
