Governor Kathy Hochul has announced $10 million to fund the repair and restoration of two iconic World War II naval ships along Buffalo’s waterfront, USS The Sullivans and USS Croaker! At an event last week, Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park President and CEO Paul J. Marzello Sr. said, “These ships symbolize the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of every man and woman who has ever worn a U.S. military uniform. There is no better way to honor them than preserving these ships.” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz added, “The Sullivans and the Croaker are key components of the Naval and Servicemen’s Park, irreplaceable pieces of history and mainstays of one of Erie County’s most-visited sites.” Governor Hochul’s commitment of $10 million is in addition to other local, state and federal funding, including $7.5 million secured by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, $1 million from the City of Buffalo, $1 million from Erie County, $1 million from Senator Sean Ryan, and $500,000 from Majority Leader Crystal Peoples Stokes. #InTheBUF #visitbuffaloniagara #destinationmarketing #Historic #buffalony

It’s been an exciting and productive week for Visit Buffalo Niagara and the Buffalo Convention Center! We’re currently hosting the members of our Customer Advisory Council (CAC) for their annual on-site meeting in Buffalo. The council is made up of experienced events and meetings managers, operations professionals, account directors and executives who provide us with constructive feedback on topics such as strategic planning, marketing efforts, emerging industry technology and more. Visit Buffalo Niagara also recently completed a comprehensive DestinationNEXT Assessment for our region, which will guide us as we create our next three-year strategic plan. This process has been led by MMGY NextFactor, a global thought-leader in tourism and economic development. On Wednesday, MMGY presented the results of this assessment to our team in an informative and interactive session. These events truly go hand in hand, as they both provide members of our region with the tools and knowledge needed to construct the best plan for our destination’s future! #MeetInBUF #buffalony #buffalo #visitbuffaloniagara #meetingsmeanbusiness

We're thrilled to share that the Burchfield Penney Art Center recently announced the acquisition of the renowned watercolor painting "Retreat of Winter" by Charles E. Burchfield! This acquisition marks the most significant purchase the institution has ever made. Burchfield’s works of this scale and significance rarely become available at auction. Thanks to the Burchfield Penney board and staff’s close monitoring of the art market, the Art Center’s team was able to quickly mobilize to acquire this treasure for the Western New York community and beyond to enjoy. The artwork, purchased from Christie’s Auction House, will be on view through October 20, 2024. For more information about the Burchfield Penney Art Center and its upcoming exhibitions, events, and programs, you can visit https://lnkd.in/es2axtc2. #artwork #Burchfield #visitbuffaloniagara #destinationmarketing #destinationmanagement #InTheBUF #BurchfieldPenneyArtCenter #artmuseum

It seems fitting to celebrate our new vice president of marketing, Karen Fashana, on her 24th anniversary with Visit Buffalo Niagara! A dedicated employee for over two decades, Fashana brings to the role of vice president a great deal of marketing experience, destination knowledge, organizational history, and local and national industry relationships. Fashana got her start as an intern in the Convention Services Department at Visit Buffalo Niagara. After graduating from Niagara University, VBN hired her as the visitor center manager of the former satellite location at the Walden Galleria mall. She went on to work in the tourism department, assisting with the group tour business, managing relationships with American Automobile Association offices and launching Visit Buffalo Niagara’s social media presence. As she worked full-time, she earned a Master of Business Administration from Canisius University with a concentration in marketing. Before her promotion to vice president, Fashana was senior director of marketing. Congratulations, Karen! #buffalony #VP #visitbuffaloniagara #destinationmanagement #destinationmarketing #buffalo
