Be a part of the POWER OF PAOLI!

We are one of the most influential forces in local government and regional economic development in Paoli. We host numerous programs and events each year to help our members develop strategic relationships within the business community.

Our membership serves a diverse audience of citizens, including community leaders, entrepreneurs, business executives, employees and educators. It provides leadership and resources to local businesses and organizations and acts as a catalyst for providing information and activities for our members and the region.

On behalf of PBPA, I encourage you to come to one of our events. We need your constant support and look forward to working with you to promote, grow and sustain a diverse and healthy business community.
