CEO Leaves Buffalo Niagara CVB

Richard Geiger resigned as president and CEO of the Buffalo Niagara CVB, effective May 31, the Business First of Buffalo reported.

A six-person search committee has been formed with three members appointed by Erie County Executive Chris Collins, who had been calling for Geiger’s removal and who held up bureau funding until he agreed to leave.

“I've done what I can do here,” Geiger said. “I'm extremely proud of all the accomplishments we have done in the last 14 years, including putting Buffalo on the map for sports and cultural tourism.”
