This agenda is not limited to the above. This was the information presented by the Clarksville / Johnson County Strategic Planning Initiative, paid for by the city of Clarksville. New perspectives are welcomed and encouraged. Together we can build a better product to help others and therefore a better community.
The Chamber is equipped with training materials to acclimate you to serve. Please don't doubt yourself if you would provide value. Your knowledge and experience are the value! In the documents portion of this link is the committee responsibilities and committee management workbook.
If you are interested and have a passion for this topic, please register and become a part of this effort to become a better community!
We will have this open until April 27th to sign up. Once the Chamber gathers the best times to meet and people interested, a meeting will be scheduled to begin this journey!
