David Barthel speaking at the announcement of the formation of UB Believers

David Barthel, president and chief executive officer of SmartPill Corp., speaks at the Aug. 7 announcement of the formation of UB Believers.

Members of UB Believers, a broad-based advocacy group, will have an important role to play in helping UB realize the 40 percent growth it envisions between now and the year 2020 with the implementation of UB 2020. The group was launched on Aug. 7 by a coalition of business and community leaders sharing a belief that a larger, stronger UB will translate into a brighter future for all of Buffalo Niagara. At major public universities with similar successful advocacy programs, faculty, staff and students are the backbone of the membership. More Join
