Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University athletics and the Governors Club served as host to the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce’s August “Business After Hours,” Thursday, in the Club Level of Governors Stadium.
The monthly networking event for Chamber members also served as a kickoff for Austin Peay fans to celebrate the beginning of the 2015-16 competition season.
The Lady Govs soccer team opens its season 7:00pm, Friday, against UAB while volleyball will open a week later against Ohio in the Purdue Mortar Board Tournament.
After APSU coaches and staff served dinner—many were able to sit in club level seating while watching the Govs football team practice, APSU Marketing and Promotions Director Alaric Klinghard introduced University President Alisa White, who welcomed the audience of nearly 300 before thanking interim Athletics Director Cheryl Holt for her work.
New Athletics Director Ryan Ivey will begin his duties Monday. In addition, third-year football coach Kirby Cannon provided an update on his program and invited those in attendance to return to Governors Stadium to watch the Govs this season.
Door prizes also were awarded to multiple chamber members.
