BUFFALO, N.Y. — Area leaders will learn key strategies to attract and retain high-quality workers for their organizations during a free evening of professional development presented by M&T Bank and the University at Buffalo School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL).

The event, “Attract and Retain Talent During Unprecedented Times,” will be held at 5 p.m. on April 25 at Seneca One in Buffalo, and will feature a keynote presentation from Mike Wisler, chief information officer at M&T Bank and chair of 43North.
