Welcome to the
2010 Black Business Directory
and Resource Guide
Welcome to Pittsburgh home of champions. After 25 years of publishing
the Black Business Directory, I am still excited about the promise of
Pittsburgh’s people to people connections that make our city inviting. The
unique qualities of hometown camaraderie and winning spirit are what bind
us together with the desire to make the region strong, inclusive and
prosperous.
We are like gladiators working toward a goal to excel on all fronts that
will make our town better. Proof of our city’s drive includes the
entrepreneurs leading world class businesses, innovative directors of non-
profit organizations and an
infectious music and arts
community.
The Black Business
Directory has from the
Connie Portis very beginning included
the most comprehensive
list of businesses
marketing to and by African Americans in the region. From home-
based to office towers the business owners here are what makes our city
great. Entrepreneurs, the professional and educational community and
neighborhood advocates rise to the challenge to ensure that we all fully
participate and compete in the marketplace.
My brother Richard and I are proud to be connected to such a vibrant
network in the Greater Pittsburgh region.
Richard G. Portis
We look forward to another year of the Black Business Directory and Resource Guide serving the community of residents
and visitors to the greater Pittsburgh region.
Remember to visit www.pittsburghblackdirectory.com to keep the directory at your fingertips wherever you are.
