CYP: Alexis Goines

Featured Clarksville Young Professional, Alexis Goines owns a local Allstate agency, and is passionate about membership in the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce and Clarksville Young Professionals. Alexis told VIP, “Prior to opening the agency in October 2017, I knew how important it was to get involved with the local Chamber! However, since joining, then becoming an ambassador, it’s brought so much more than just the presence of being a member. It’s enabled me to meet so many new faces and build numerous relationships gaining great friends along the way! It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of your own business and the things that require your attention each day, which makes our chamber events and meetings a breath of fresh air.”

The army brought Alexis and her family to Clarksville, and they loved it so much that they decided to call it home. “My family was brought to Clarksville through the military in 2011, and we knew from the beginning we loved this community! One of our favorites is the downtown scene, especially the views of the riverside and the greenways. We also enjoy a good float down the river!” Alexis says.

She tells VIP that one of the best parts about Clarksville is the people in our community. “Our residents & business owners are the best—it’s great to have such a giving & supportive community! I’ve always aspired to make a difference in other lives, not only by advising and protecting families through their insurance policies, but on a larger scale.”

Making a difference, and fundraising for local nonprofits is a pillar of Alexis’s mission to build the community. Alexis emphasizes the importance of investing in the community, “This past year, we had the opportunity with assistance from Allstate’s Good Hands Networks to donate over $7500 to local nonprofits, and I look forward to building on that each year. I believe that as business owners we also have a responsibility to reinvest in our communities. I’m just so grateful to be in the position to do more for others!”
