Leadership Buffalo, Inc. (LB) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1987 with one mission: to unite existing and emerging leaders from diverse backgrounds and perspectives in order to increase their knowledge of community issues, broaden their vision and enhance their ability to lead. More than 25 years later, Leadership Buffalo remains dedicated to its original mission. We continue to strive to bring positive change to WNY by working with area leaders and organizations, identifying the critical issues facing our community and developing action plans for strategic, positive change. Leadership Buffalo continues to be the catalyst to bring our community together to reach our primary goal of Making Buffalo Better. LB was founded in 1987 as a project of the Greater Buffalo Chamber of Commerce. A Committee of 46 individuals was selected to research other community leadership programs and make recommendations for the Greater Buffalo program.
