The WNYEA Congress is our annual meeting of the membership, where we discuss current issues of the organization, determine our Action Agenda for the upcoming year, and vote on changes to the organization and Board of Directors, as needed. In previous years, we have met at community locations throughout Buffalo and Erie County, and featured speakers from member organizations and local government on relevant topics of discussion. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Congress has transitioned to a virtual event to support public health safety and comply with related regulations.

Join us in 2022 as we launch our Decade of Biodiversity. 

​The Western New York Environmental Alliance’s “Congress 2022” event on Monday, January 24, 2022 was held via Zoom beginning at 4:30PM.  Following a short business session including election of new and renewing board members, we had a short review of recent and ongoing campaigns and activities. This was followed by our official announcement of a major new umbrella campaign we are calling the “Decade of Biodiversity.”  Time was reserved for membership and general group discussion both as part of three brief campaign “conversations," and during the membership dialogue and discussion.
A brief “Happy Hour” and continued dialogue was held after the meeting adjourned.

Past Congress Events

2020 
​
The WNYEA recognizes the interconnectedness of the environment, public health, and social equity. The 2020 Congress focused on these issue through a Virtual Brown Bag Lunch with a panel of local representatives to discuss how we are collectively working toward climate justice in the Region. 

A recording of the event is available on our Facebook page, here.
