As of January 2009, Stacey McKay is the Chairman of the Board and Lewis Murray is the President/CEO of the Lake Arrowhead Communities Chamber of Commerce. There seems to be a moderate amount of new residents moving to this scenic lake in the mountains.

The Lake Arrowhead Communities are located within the San Bernardino National Forest. For almost 100 years, Lake Arrowhead has been the premier mountain resort in Southern California. Nestled at an altitude of 5108’ in a magnificent forest of pines and cedars is Lake Arrowhead, a 782 acre alpine lake some describe as the “jewel of Southern California”. Located just 90 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Lake Arrowhead is within a 2 hour drive of a population of 15 million people. The fresh mountain air and four-season climate is unmatched in Southern California.

Tourism is the primary economic generator for the area contributing several million dollars per year to the county and providing 600 full time and 700 part time jobs for local residents. The area is host to over 4 million visitors a year. There are 400 guestrooms in hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts as well as 500 cabins and condos, which are rented on a short-term basis. The area is also popular for business conferences. Summer is the most popular tourist season.
