2026 BNPYP - CEOs & Slices

Description

CEOs & Slices is a new lunchtime event series exclusively for BNP Young Professionals, designed to bring Buffalo Niagara’s emerging leaders face-to-face with regional CEOs in a relaxed, fireside-chat setting.

The featured CEO for March 10 is Gary Siddall, President & CEO of the Buffalo Museum of Science and Tifft Nature Preserve.

Gary joined the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences in February 2024, bringing decades of nonprofit leadership experience – including his previous role as Executive Director of the Aquarium of Niagara. A former marine mammal trainer with deep expertise in animal behavior, Gary offers a unique perspective on leadership, mission-driven organizations, and building impactful teams.

Hosted at noon at the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, these casual sessions create space for honest conversation, career insight, and informal mentoring — all over a slice (or two). Young professionals will have the opportunity to engage directly with business leaders, ask questions, and gain perspective on leadership, growth, and navigating professional journeys in our region.
