Without our members, the work that we do for our local businesses would not be possible. I have been a part of this community since 1991 when I was stationed here as a member of the United States Air Force. When I decided to move on from my military career, I knew that there was no other place that I wanted to live than Clarksville, Tennessee. To this day, I am continually surprised by the diversity, giving nature and friendliness of the people that call Clarksville home. As the Chairman, I want to encourage each of you to be a part of growing our dynamic business landscape and enhancing the ideals of living and shopping local. There are so many options for dining, shopping and entertainment right in our own backyard. Every time we take advantage of what’s available, we keep valuable resources within the Montgomery County lines because, as we know a dollar spent here continues to roll over in our own community but when it leaves it’s tough to get back. Whatever your needs or interests are, I feel confident that you will be able to find a program through the Chamber that will benefit you and your business. I encourage you to get involved with one of our committees or professional development opportunities and begin building relationships with other business owners. The relationships that you establish because of networking among your peers will create lasting benefits for your business. Rest assured that your Chamber membership is going to work for you. The Chamber is host to numerous excellent events each month that offer our members the opportunity to meet people in other sectors and learn new business best practices. Some of them include the Power Breakfast series, Women In Business luncheons, Business After Hours, as well as our popular Business Before Hours event. Along with the monthly events, the Chamber hosts annual gatherings, which allow our membership to come together to celebrate our business accomplishments amongst our peers. Each year, we hold the Annual Dinner & Gala, an annual Golf Scramble and the Home & Garden Show, which all serve as great relationship building and networking events for our members. The Chamber is currently moving forward with exciting marketing and advertising initiatives and your business needs to be a part of that momentum. To help you stay informed you can download our very popular mobile app through the Apple App Store by searching Clarksville Area Chamber. The app offers full member listings with GPS enabled maps, contact information and general community information. We also have a text club you can join by simply texting “Business” to 68683 that will give you up to the minute news and
