President's Message

In times of ongoing political and economic uncertainty, one thing remains clear: growth and stability are still within reach, through continuous learning, meaningful connections, and strong professional networks. As financial and business professionals, we can lead by example, not just by expanding our knowledge, but by building relationships that inspire innovation, collaboration, and long-term success.

At the Association for Financial Professionals of Western New York (AFPWNY), we are committed to putting that power in your hands. Whether you're looking to deepen your expertise in finance and treasury, earn credits toward your CTP and/or FP&A recertification, distinguish yourself in a competitive industry, or expand your professional network, AFPWNY is here to support your journey.

As President, I am proud to lead an organization that prioritizes relevant, engaging, and high-impact learning experiences. If you haven’t yet attended one of our lunch meetings or half-day conferences, I encourage you to join us, you’ll quickly see the value of being part of this vibrant community.

To our current members: thank you for your dedication to your growth and to AFPWNY. Your commitment is what makes this organization so special, and it’s an honor to serve alongside such an inspiring group of professionals.

I look forward to the year ahead and to getting to know each of you better.

Stay curious. Fuel your growth. Build professional connections.

Join us at the Association for Financial Professionals of Western New York

 

Best Regards,

Tiana Carman

President of AFPWNY, 2025-2026
