Buffalo Networking Orginizations

Does anyone belong to or can recommend any good chambers or networking groups? There’s only so much you can find out without actually attending an event. Has anyone here had a positive experience with a B2B group? Something other than old guys drinking coffee and bitching about taxes?

Any particular subject or focus?

I do business to business sales, so I guess the focus would be anything that deals with small to medium sized companies in the Buffalo region.

for example: www.thepartnership.org doesn’t look too bad from the outside. In my experince these type of orginizations can either plug you into a community, or be a colossal waste of time and money. I want to find groups that would help me achieve the former.

This comes to mind. I remember some award from them hanging on the wall at my old place. I have no first hand experience with them though, so all I can offer is the website.
