Good Morning Buffalo (GMB) is a monthly morning networking opportunity hosted by a member business. It is typically held for an hour, on a Thursday morning. A member hosts the meeting at their location and provides a complimentary breakfast. Each attendee will be asked to introduce themselves and talk a minute about what they do. Bring your business card for a prize drawing! Click here for the calendar page.

Good Afternoon Buffalo (GAB) is periodically held quarterly from 4:30 pm to 6 pm on a Thursday night at a local member restaurant. This is a more casual networking opportunity. Click here for the calendar page.

These are opportunities more specifically designed to hear from our City and State government officials to keep you in the know about what is happening locally and across that state that will affect your business or your community. Offered up, generally, twice per year.

(Forum For Engagement & Educational Development Offered By The Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce)

These business training opportunities are in an effort to talk about current business issues or business solutions. These educational sessions give you the opportunity to network with other businesses and learn something new from an expert speaker that will help you expand and improve your business. New and exciting topics each year!

If you want to get the most from your Chamber membership, give back! You can be a part of the Board of Directors with a three year term, serve on a volunteer committee for events, or serve as an Ambassador and meet and greet other members once a month. It gives you a wider breath of knowledge and service to yourself, other business members and the community.
