Buffalo Niagara 360 (BN360) continues to thrive as the young professionals program of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership. First-class sponsors and strategic partners collaborate to produce business leadership seminars, up close and personal discussions with government leaders, social hours to benefit local charities and volunteer opportunities. BN360 provides Buffalo Niagara’s young professionals with the necessary leadership development, business networking and community engagement opportunities to grow their careers.
Thursday, May 10, BN360 will host Government Unplugged with Senator Tim Kennedy, a series that gives participants the opportunity to speak personally and casually with regional government leaders. Senator Kennedy will field questions and answer rapid-fire Q&A in a format that emulates “Inside the Actors Studio.” Senator Mark Grisanti was the featured guest of the Government Unplugged series in December.

BN360 is an opportunity for you to connect with young professionals of all shapes, sizes and experience levels – those who have been “in the business” longer and can give advice, the professionals who are just starting out and may need guidance, and the people you haven’t met yet but can share useful best practices and experience. BN360 members are a diverse collection of young professionals, from companies spanning the region and varying in size and nature, who gather to expand their leadership skills, business know-how and engagement in the community.
Last month, BN360’s “Happy Hour For-A-Cause” was held at the Statler City Lobby Bar to benefit the Morlock Foundation. Nearly 100 young professionals attended. B_Team Buffalo, Leadership Buffalo, UB CEL and the Buffalo Niagara Partnership’s Perspectives Council were all represented. More than $1,000 in event proceeds was raised on behalf of the Morlock Foundation to help improve the quality of life for families in crisis throughout our community.
