Contributed commentary by the Leadership Clarksville Class of 2024.
Leadership Clarksville each year assigns study groups within the class to tackle topics that impact Clarksville. This year, one of the study groups is Celebrating Global Tapestry and Forging International Bonds.
This group was charged with conducting a thorough demographic exploration of Clarksville’s international community. Identifying an accurate count of international residents, mapping their diverse countries of origin, and recognizing the invaluable contributions they bring to the city. This endeavor seeks to unveil the intricate tapestry of cultural diversity within Clarksville, shedding light on the unique and enriching perspectives that international leaders and residents bring to our community.
Our challenge is to explore the dynamics of Clarksville’s international community by identifying the number of international residents, their native countries, and the rich tapestry of their contributions to the city.
As part of this endeavor, the study group has designed a survey as a way to explore the dynamics of Clarksville’s international community.
Who should fill out this survey? Everyone! If you have lived in Clarksville your whole life, or if you just been here a month – we are wanting to get a picture of our diverse community. This survey is anonymous unless you choose to share your name with us.
Please take the survey and pass it on to anyone in the Clarksville community. Thank you for filling out this survey and spreading the word!
