30 YEARS1988-2018 from OUR PRESIDENT and CEO Bonnie Sutton in 1988, Frank Batten, Sr ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Celebrating 30 YEARS1988-2018 FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND CEO Bonnie Sutton In 1988, Frank Batten, Sr. and Joshua P. Darden, Jr., our founders, started a three-year pilot project called The Tidewater Scholarship Program in five Norfolk public high schools. In those early days the goal was simple: find a way for students to access the hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal, state, and local money allocated for lower-income students to attend college each year that would otherwise go unclaimed. I accepted a position as secretary with this small organization, not knowing that it would turn into a 30+ year career helping students go to college. What you now know as ACCESS College Foundation has grown and changed in so many ways over the past three decades. Today we’re in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk and Northampton County, serving students as early as middle school and following them well into their careers. I believe we have been able to accomplish all these wonderful things because when we see a need, we find a way to meet it. Perhaps one of our Scholars will find the cure for cancer, write the screenplay for an Academy Award winning movie or, who knows, even become the President of the United States! We truly believe education and training beyond high school changes lives, families and communities, and we’re doing our part here in Hampton Roads to make that happen. Enjoy this special 30th Anniversary Annual Report and dream big with us. We have so much more to look forward to over the next 30 years. FROM OUR BOARD CHAIRMAN Frank Batten Jr. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with the programs in 26 middle schools and even follows talented group of volunteers on the ACCESS students through their college careers on 13 Board of Directors and witnessed firsthand the campuses across Virginia. fantastic work that the ACCESS staff does in our People need quality, good-paying jobs to schools. support their families, and more often than This year, I’m delighted to have the not, these jobs require education beyond high opportunity to chair the ACCESS Board of school.

There was not a dry eye in the house when she finished. Dr. Williams described a “volatile home environment” with a father who developed substance abuse problems and a mother who struggled to raise five children in Virginia Beach. Eventually shuffled between public housing and relatives’ homes, Melody became so distressed at age 12 that she considered suicide. However, it was her mother’s dedication to raising the children in church that grounded Melody in faith and kept her moving forward. Melody used this faith to persevere and eventually met an adult who could help the struggling teen realize her full potential - Karla, Bayside High School’s ACCESS Advisor. “She challenged me to think about what I could do with my life and about going to college. It was an ‘Aha!’ moment for me, because I never thought that was a possibility.” While in high school, Melody buckled down to focus on her studies and work alongside her siblings to help support the family. “The counselors told me about AP classes and that if I did well in them, I could earn college credit.” At the time, not many students at Bayside were taking the AP exams, figuring they were too costly and rigorous. “My ACCESS Advisor got me a fee waiver for the AP Biology test,” says Melody. “It was a lot of pressure, but I believed I could do it.” She did, becoming the first Bayside Marlin ever to pass it, an indicator of things to come. 6 | annual report With little knowledge at Dominion University and a Norfolk School Board home on how to apply member at the time, and Dr. Gene Carter, Norfolk’s for college, Melody school superintendent, also took the podium.

Leonardo da Vinci envisioned man-flight in the 15th century and designed a practical airplane concept in 1490. Many other pioneers proposed various types of flying machines over the next 400 years but it was not until December 17, 1903 that the Wright Brothers, at Kitty Hawk, NC, were credited with achieving the first manned-powered flight. Over the next 100 years, several factors have influenced advances in aviation. The use of aircraft by European nations in World War I resulted in concern that the U.S. was lagging in aviation developments. This lead to an act of the U.S.
