June 18, 2025
5:30 - 7 p.m.
Burchfield Penney Art Center, 1300 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY
Along with Leadership Buffalo, we invite you to attend the first of four “Common Ground” conversations on next-generation community leadership and stewardship in Buffalo Niagara. This event will be a forum for discussion between established and aspiring community leaders to foster collaboration and mentorship of our region’s next generation of leaders.
Topics to be explored include:
- What is community leadership and stewardship?
- Why is it important?
- What is the challenge that Buffalo Niagara faces in a generational change in community leadership?
- How can we prepare for this change?
- Should Buffalo Niagara engage in some form of succession planning for community leadership and stewardship?
- How can we inspire others to lead and be stewards of our community?
- What skills/tools are necessary to become a community steward?
- What should be next?
This is an exceptional opportunity for all who care about our community’s development, growth, and progression to find their voice and explore their role in this transition.
