Each
year prospective members ask a common
question. "Tell me why we need a Chamber
of Commerce?" That question is usually
followed with, "What will the Chamber do
for me?"
In
order to have an active, growing, area in
which to live we must have an organization
like the
CLARKSVILLE-JOHNSON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
We
are the place people turn when they
suddenly find out that the working spouse
has been transferred to our area. We
answer the letters and send new families
brochures on our city, school system,
recreational facilities and anything else
that they may request.
We
are the place concerned individuals call
when they need to know who sells a
particular item, or to check out the type
of service a business in the area
gives.
When
a new prospective industry wants to locate
in our area, or one of our present
industries need to expand, we are the
place they turn for help.
The
final answer to both questions is simple,
the
CLARKSVILLE-JOHNSON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE does
all the little detail tasks that must be
done if we are to be a county in
motion.
This
is the reason our area is continuing to
grow. We are here to see to it that our
growth continues in an orderly
fashion.
WHAT
IS THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
It
is the people .... you working together to
solve the economic and socioeconomic
problems of a community. People ....
Business and professional primarily, and
others who have a common interest and
pride in their community and in the area
in which it serves. The Chamber of
Commerce is the vehicle that enables
people to work together, to meld divergent
interests in a cohesive force and to build
a better community for all.
