The thirty-fourth class of Leadership Clarksville ended its yearlong independent executive leadership program recently with a class celebration at Freedom Point in Liberty Park.

“This is the class of 2021,” Geoff Livington said. “We have thirty-three members in this class. Everything has had to change a little for this year’s class due to Covid-19. For example, our retreat was different. We usually do some team-building exercises in Kingston Springs. This year we weren’t able to do that.”

Charlie Koon talked about some of the activities the group was able to perform as usual. “Class members were able to participate in Business Day and Agriculture Day and many other events,” Koon said. “It was a good year but not quite back to normal.”

One of the biggest announcements of the evening was Carole Dorris officially announced her retirement after 34 years. “I’m excited for Rich Holladay who will be taking over,” Dorris said. “I’m going to travel a bit, clean my house and play with my cat.”
