Elected Official Panel Discussion
As our WNY community is experiencing an incredibly exciting time of economic development and a boom of innovation and entrepreneurship, we have developed many new programs to keep women at the table, if not leading the way. One such program is coming up in October: Your invited to be a part of a special panel discussion of city and county elected officials for WNY’s women business owners! Our local entrepreneurs will gain a better perspective on how their elected officials support their businesses. Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to:
· How does a business owner approach their elected officials for help with their business
needs?
· What sorts of issues are appropriate for them to discuss with their elected officials?
· How do you know who to talk to?
· How can your elected officials help your business grow and succeed?
An added bonus for all will be that we will turn the tables and allow time for our panelists to ask our attending entrepreneurs questions about their business status and growth challenges.
Our Panelists:
Comptroller Mark J. F. Schroeder
Legislator Barbara Miller Williams
Legislator Peter Savage
Legislator Edward Rath

From St. Francis to Pope Francis to You: Creating a Climate for Solidarity
In celebration of the Feast of St. Francis, the office of Campus Ministry and the departments of Catholic Studies and Mission & Identity will join hundreds of other Catholic parishes, schools, and colleges in a program titled “From St. Francis to Pope Francis to You: Creating a Climate for Solidarity.”
2014 marks the 35th anniversary of St. Francis’s naming as the Patron Saint of those who promote ecology by St. John Paul II. Pope Francis, the first pontiff to take his name from St. Francis, has repeatedly highlighted how the poor are disproportionately harmed by environmental degradation.
Rooted in the life of St. Francis and animated by Catholic teaching on climate change, “From St. Francis to Pope Francis to You: Creating a Climate for Solidarity” is a 90-minute multimedia presentation that combines short video testimonials with group reflection. The program highlights the impacts of climate change on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people, and offers concrete ways that Catholic individuals and communities can respond.
Canisius College will offer this program on Thursday, October 2 at 7 p.m. in OM 214. A discussion of the film will include steps you can take in response—steps that are based in authentic Catholic teaching.
The event provides a concrete example of responding to Pope Francis’ words, which urge us to make care for Creation and care for the poor significant parts of our Catholic witness: Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation!
(March 19, 2013)
The program is sponsored by the Catholic Climate Covenant, a national Catholic partnership organization whose members include, among others, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
