The five organizations partnered and will host the June and several other Small Business Works events scheduled in neighborhoods in Allegheny County. Every event will provide access to education and the region’s amazing business resources. Additional Small Business Works events will be held in the fall focusing on Welcome to Oz - How being green can benefit you and your business.

"The vision for the Building Bridges for Business community is an environment where entrepreneurs can grow and advance their business, support other business owners, and develop as entrepreneurs giving back to their community,” says Building Bridges for Business founder Linda Handley, an entrepreneur, author and business advisor. “We want to bridge the valuable resources in Western Pennsylvania with business owners and residents who want to start a business," says Amanda Wodzenski, President of Building Bridges. Building Bridges for Business was created based on the need Handley and others saw in the area understanding that small and start up business owners have limited finances.
