The Niagara Business Associates meets the first and third Friday of each month at the Buffalo Club. Meetings run from 7:30am - 9:00am. On occasion meetings / tours are held at member company sites on the same schedule.
At each meeting, we invite a speaker to present on a relevant topic which is beneficial to our members. These presentations include "Member Updates" (informational sessions specifically related to an individual Member and their company), Guest Speakers (educational sessions that focus on business issues throughout the Buffalo-Niagara Region) and Site Tours (on-site visits to companies in Western New York that provide a "behind-the-scenes" look at interesting and compelling aspects of various industries.
