Advocacy

The BNP unveils its Advocacy Agenda detailing the federal, state, and local policy priorities most important to its members.

A networking lunch designed to give BNP members an opportunity to hear directly from state legislators about their state budget priorities and goals for the current session.

Held four times per year, featuring candid briefing and q-and-a sessions with Western New York’s highest-profile elected officials, as well as policy-themed roundtable and panel discussions focusing on the BNP’s advocacy priorities.

 Join forces with other Buffalo Niagara employers from various industries for a series of virtual meetings with key elected officials, policy experts, and decision-makers. The BNP’s Advocacy Day keeps things close to home with a series of focused, pre-scheduled meetings so regional employers can discuss the issues that matter most with the people in power.

CEOs Speak is the only place in Buffalo Niagara where you can hear the results of the Upstate New York Business Leader Survey conducted annually by Siena College Research Institute. Completed by over 500 CEOs from all across Upstate New York, the survey measures the perception of current and future business conditions. In partnership with The Business Council of New York State, this virtual event will feature a panel discussion with CEOs discussing pressing advocacy issues and employer engagement in state and federal policymaking.
