Sierra Business Council is a nonprofit organization formed in 1994 to support the Sierra Nevada region through a blend of community empowerment, environmental stewardship, and economic development. Based in Truckee, California, with a satellite office in Bishop and a distributed regional staff, the council promotes sustainable growth by helping rural businesses, addressing local challenges, and engaging in climate-related policy discussions. Its work centers on strengthening the regional economy through practical technical assistance and development planning, advancing energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions through climate programs, and advocating for Sierra interests in policy matters. Historically, SBC has contributed to notable regional milestones, including collaboration that helped establish the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, the launch of the Sierra Small Business Development Center, and efforts to boost energy resilience through climate planning. A recent development in 2026 involves a partnership to host a Forest Entrepreneurship Bootcamp in Auburn, signaling ongoing collaboration with local partners to foster forest-based entrepreneurship.
