As the Buffalo Niagara Partnership marks the 20th anniversary of its 1993 formation, we’re catching up with former Partnership board chairs to get their thoughts on the organization’s role in Buffalo Niagara’s evolving economy.   Today, we’re sitting down with Jon Dandes, who served as Partnership board chair from 2008-2011.  This is the third part in our series which will run throughout 2013.
