The Buffalo Niagara 360 young professionals program created by the Partnership last fall helps support the region's next generation of business leaders, those who will support the area and guide Buffalo Niagara into the new economy and the future. The program kicked off with a splashy launch party last October at downtown Buffalo's Electric Tower and drew over 400 guests, plus members of the business community and local elected officials who support young professionals in the area who aim to live, work, play and stay in Buffalo Niagara.
The program has had a great first year of offerings including lunch and learn activities, networking events and after work parties, educational seminars including an "advocacy boot camp" event to educate members on how young professionals can make a difference for themselves and for the community, an active Facebook group and even a kick ball team!
On September 17th from 5:30-8:30PM, the program will celebrate its 1st anniversary with an evening event on the downtown Buffalo waterfront at Shanghai Red's restaurant. Along with food and drinks, networking opportunities and beautiful waterfront views, the organizers plan to have a few unique things happen, including tours of the Moondance Cat and additional waterfront tours and activities.
The organizers are also seeking local young artists for submissions (photography, mixed media and paintings) to include in a small "mini gallery" showcasing their work centered on the themes of Buffalo Niagara, the downtown waterfront, the local waterways, city skyline and local landscapes, etc.
** If you are a local young artist or know someone who is, please note that submission ideas are due (high res. jpg format please) NO LATER than Sept. 7th via email to eburns@thepartnership.org
Chosen artists will have the chance to expose their work to the business community and other local young professionals at the event. **
