Clarksville Chamber hosts national seminar to help businesses overcome slow economy
The Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a national business seminar to help keep local businesses strong in a slow economy. “While the economy in Clarksville remains strong, outside influences can domino into our economy,” said James Chavez, president and CEO of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce. The seminar, entitled “High Performance in a Low Economy” is being presented by international business consultant and speaker Patrick McGaughey.

In recent months, business associations including Realtors and Home Builders have said, “Pat’s take on the economy is right on and his solutions make so much sense.” McGaughey indicates that the low economy has become a perfect excuse to procrastinate or simply not do business. Fears and indecision go hand in hand to hurt all businesses trying to move forward. “We focus on helping businesses help their customers in making courageous purchasing decisions,” McGaughey said. “Building courage back into our customer base is the foundation of this presentation,” he added.
Prior to his consulting career, McGaughey spent over 30 years in broadcasting, business association management and medical administration. In addition to his consulting work, McGaughey is a faculty member for the United States Chamber of Commerce Institute for Organization Management at the universities of Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia and Villanova. He is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the upcoming conference for the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce Executives.
The “High Performance in a Low Economy” seminar will be held Wednesday, February 10, from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Economic Development Council, 25 Jefferson Street. As a co-sponsor of the event, the Clarksville Chamber is offering a special rate of $49 per person for General Admission, and a discounted rate of $35 per person for Chamber members. To register, contact Melinda Shepard at 931-245-4341 or .us.
