A BRIEF HISTORY
 

A group of Pittsburgh business owners joined together in 1939 to form an organization that would have as its purpose the promotion of new business opportunities through a network of cooperation. Today, these businesses are represented by some of the region's outstanding companies. From the start, only one company has been permitted to join P.E.A within a specific business classification, allowing that firm exclusive networking opportunities. When vacancies become available, invitations for membership are extended to businesses recognized for their success within that category.
 

PURPOSE
 
The express purpose of the P.E.A. is to exchange information among its member firms to increase business opportunities. The information is exchanged through the submission of formal business leads at a 90 minute luncheon every Tuesday. Attendance at these luncheon meetings is an obligation and strengthens relationships among members. Brief classification talks are given at each weekly meeting so that each member may be knowledgeable about the services offered by fellow members.
