The Erie Small Business Alliance was originally formed in March 2005 as Erie Power Networking by Erie residents Heidi Parr Kerner and Phil Kerner.

During the past 2 1/2 years, our organization has not only served over 3,000 breakfasts to local business owners and professionals, but helped them grow with not only a great referral network, but with training to help them articulate their message in a way that attracts new clients, and helps them to stand out from their competition.

One of the biggest benefits to membership is simply the opportunity to be around other business owners at least once a month - a roundtable of ideas, new contacts and referrals, and most of all support from fellow business owners: you are not alone in the business community.

The formation of The Erie Small Business Alliance simply reflects our efforts to engage the Greater Erie area and serves as an umbrella for the multiple aspects of our organization: business networking with Erie Power Networking; community awareness for our members with our magazine, press releases, radio program, and soon to be TV ads featuring our members, "the most trusted names in Erie business."
