MEET THE CHAMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Meet Tina Anderson with Anchor Realty. Tina and her husband moved to Buffalo on a whim 21 years ago when they were young and spry, not knowing what a gem this town was until they settled in! They feel fortunate to raise their 15 year old son here.
 
In Tina's words: "I love the small downtown feel and enjoy the "big town" amenities. There is a sense of community here that I've not felt anywhere else we've lived".  
 
Tina enjoys serving on the Chamber Board as she enjoys serving our community and the businesses that thrive here. They make her heart happy. One of the highlights of her month is going out to visit Chamber members with the Chamber Ambassador team, hearing what makes each of our businesses unique and what helps them thrive. It's THE BEST! We think you're the best - thank you for serving on the Chamber Board of Directors!
