CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Leadership Clarksville recently announced its Class of 2021.

Each year, members of the Clarksville community are selected to serve in a leadership development yearlong course. In its 34th year, the program is an exclusive opportunity for community leaders.

“Leadership Clarksville empowers and connects leaders to strengthen and transform the community,” said Carole Dorris, executive director. “In monthly full-day sessions that include site visits, presentations and dialogues with key decision makers, participants get a behind-the-scenes look at how Clarksville-Montgomery County works.”

The purpose of the program is to prepare leaders and empower them to create a better community. Graduates represent all sectors of business, civic and religious organizations.

Also, at the annual board meeting in June, these new officers were elected: Darwin Eldridge, president; Joel Wallace, vice president; and Cheryl Lankford, secretary/treasurer.
