Buffalo Together Board Members
As the Buffalo Together Community Response Fund transitions to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are building the infrastructure for the new organization, now called Buffalo Together, Inc.
While originally managed by a steering committee of community stakeholders, a formal board of directors, also made up of community members, was established in 2025 including:
| Dr. LaVonne Ansari, Community Health Center of Buffalo, Inc., Chair | |
| Thomas Beauford, Buffalo Urban League, Vice Chair | |
| Chiwuike Owunwanne, Key Bank, Treasurer | |
| Felicia Beard, Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, Secretary | |
