Leading the Way – Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce
Founded in 1905, the Clarksville
Area Chamber of Commerce proudly celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2005.
During these 100 years, the
organization has remained steadfast–unwavering from its task. Hundreds of
volunteer leaders have diligently pursued a common mission...to enhance the
quality of living for Clarksville residents by promoting business and economic
development, improving the community’s welfare, and representing the interests
of its members.
Today, the Chamber represents over
1,000 member businesses that account for nearly 30,000 full-time employees working
in start-up entrepreneurial ventures, small businesses, established professional
service providers, and large manufacturers. They work in retail, finance,
education, healthcare, real estate, government, law, communications,
transportation, and every other imaginable field.
To effectively represent this
broad and diverse membership base – a large portion of the Montgomery County
workforce – Chamber volunteers and staff work daily to ensure a
business-friendly environment so that existing businesses can flourish and new
businesses are easily attracted to offer good jobs for our citizens.
The Chamber’s efforts are tireless
when it comes to promoting what’s good and what’s right about Clarksville–not
only for potential businesses, residents and visitors, but also for local
residents. The Chamber works closely with local, state, and federal officials to
help identify and offer solutions for issues within the community that can and
should be improved.
Throughout the past century, the Chamber’s focus hasn’t
changed– nor will it change for the next one. We are a community that
continually improves for the benefit of all its citizens!
