The Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to welcome Margo Drakos as guest speaker during the next Power Breakfast on October 15. Ms. Drakos will share her story of being a former concert cellist turned Army wife and entrepreneur, who leveraged her aptitude for performance to co-found InstantEncore.com in 2007. The business has grown to be the premier digital asset management and mobile ticketing platform for performing arts organizations globally.

As an Active Duty Army spouse, Margo is deeply committed to military family and Veterans issues. Bridging her passions for National Service and the arts, in 2014, Margo co-founded ArtistYear, an initiative of Aspen Institute’s Franklin Project, to bring the arts to underserved communities in America through one year of paid service.

“Power Breakfasts are an excellent way for our area business leaders to hear from inspirational and successful individuals. Ms. Drakos is driven by her passions for both music and the military, and that passion is what guides her business and personal goals,” said Melinda Shepard, Executive Director of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce provides frequent opportunities for the business community to engage with other professionals through programs including Women In Business, Business After Hours and Business Before Hours.

The event will be held on October 15, 2015 at 7:30 a.m. at the Riverview Inn, 50 College Street. Cost is $30 for members and $35 for non-members. Please RSVP to Branon Jaggers at 931-245-4342 or branon@clarksville.tn.us.
