Advocacy Partners

The BNP strategically allies with select organizations in order to maximize our efforts and produce greater results for our members. These alliances range from long-term founding membership roles to short-term strategic alliances created to focus on hot button issues affecting the region. We are a founding member of both Upstate United and the Great Lakes Metro Chambers Coalition and a proud member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and The Business Council.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce

U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business organization representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions. Our members range from mom-and-pop shops and local chambers to leading industry associations and large corporations. They all share one thing—they count on the Chamber to be their voice in Washington, D.C. The Buffalo Niagara Partnership participates in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Federation Partnership, which mobilizes our small business members into the nation’s largest grassroots advocacy network focused on national issues.

The Business Council of New York State

The Business Council of New York State, Inc., is the leading business organization in New York State, representing the interests of large and small firms throughout the state.
