Why I am part of BNC...

"Since joining BNC (formerly BPW of Buffalo) over 20 years ago, I have been able to apply and expand my leadership skills in a supportive environment.  Having the opportunity to "practice" these skills has greatly increased my circle of influence, as I have gained many friends and colleagues locally and statewide. Accepting leadership positions on the local and state levels challenged me to tap into undiscovered inner resources and abilities, to take risks and be rewarded with personal and professional confidence . The diversity of our membership, the opportunities to share knowledge and experience, to mentor and be mentored are benefits that no other organization provides. We stand on the shoulders of the women who came before us...it is now our turn to help those who will follow us..."
