Who We Are

Our mission is to develop a non-profit category-exclusive business networking group within the Greater Pittsburgh Region that is focused on growing business partnerships, personal and professional development, and direct referral exchange.

For over 30 years, GTEA’s goal has been to support business growth and professional development through facilitating a direct, personal connection between business professionals. While the atmosphere is semi-professional and business casual, GTEA strives to foster close-knit relationships between members to build strategic referral partnerships. Having allies on your side to help promote and support you and your business is key in today’s marketplace.

Despite the growth of online networking opportunities, personal recommendations are still the most trusted referrals among business professionals. GTEA helps members increase their competitive edge through the weekly exchange of business referrals and ideas to enhance personal growth and professional development.
