2026 Advocacy Agenda Rollout & Public Officials Reception

January 8, 2026 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM (EST)

Description

Join the Buffalo Niagara Partnership for our signature Government Affairs event of the year.

This members-only event is one of the few moments each year when Buffalo Niagara’s business leaders and elected officials at every level come together in one room for candid, meaningful conversations about the policies shaping our region’s future.

The event will begin with a presentation from the BNP unveiling our federal, state and local policy roadmap for how businesses and government can meet the moment with ambitious and sensible policymaking. Then attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to engage face-to-face with dozens of elected officials from across Buffalo Niagara during a cocktail reception to discuss workforce, development, healthcare, energy education and other important issues that affect employers.

Local representatives who will be in attendance include:
  • Buffalo Mayor-elect Sean Ryan
  • Senator George Borrello
  • Senator Pat Gallivan
  • Senator Rob Ortt
  • Assembly Member Paul Bologna
  • Assembly Member Patrick Chludzinski
  • Assembly Member William Conrad
  • Assembly Member Karen McMahon
  • Assembly Member Angelo Morinello
