Our Mission:

The mission of the Big Pine Chamber of Commerce is to "encourage and support healthy, sustainable economic growth and to promote community involvement in civic affairs, while maintaining our small town lifestyle".

Additionally, because our local economy is heavily dependent on tourism, we strive to continue to find new ways to promote Inyo County and the Eastern Sierra Region as a vacation destination. In doing so, our local businesses have a better opportunity to "thrive" as opposed to merely "survive".

Our History

This year (2005) we will celebrate the 10th Annivesary of the Big Pine Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center.

Back in 1995 a group of local business people and interested residents saw a need for the town of Big Pine to have it's own Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center.

Because Big Pine is an unincorporated town and has no city government, the Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center could fulfill several purposes. These include, attending to visitors and tourists and providing our town with a Main Street "focal point or point of interest" where people can call and obtain all types of information concerning Big Pine and the surrounding area. We believe we have provided these services and more for the past decade and are proud to look toward our next ten years of servicing our local businesses, residents and travelers.
