Charles Barker Announced as Chair of An Achievable Dream Virginia Beach Board of Directors

An Achievable Dream (AAD) recently announced that as of December, 2019, the AAD Board of Directors has elected Charles Barker, chairman of Charles Barker Automotive, as the new board chair of An Achievable Dream's Virginia Beach program. Mr. Barker has served on the board of directors of An Achievable Dream Virginia Beach since the program began in Virginia Beach in 2014. Jay Klebanoff, chief executive officer of Hercules Fence, who has served on the board of directors since 2015 and also serves as chair of the development committee, was elected as vice chair.

This announcement comes after substantial growth for the program in Virginia Beach over the last year. In 2019, through the nonprofit's partnership with Virginia Beach City Public Schools, the opportunity to apply for the program was extended to students in a total of 23 school zones in Virginia Beach. During the Something in the Water festival in 2019, Pharrell Williams partnered with Seatack Elementary An Achievable Dream Academy to renovate and expand its community garden, which is planted and maintained by students.

An Achievable Dream co-operates public schools with the goal of reaching students who may not otherwise have equitable access to opportunities and resources, and works to level the playing field for students who face socioeconomic or other challenges. In Newport News, where the program began in 1992, it operates as a full K-12 program. In Virginia Beach, the program expands by one grade level per year and will encompass grades K-12 in 2025.

Barker and the organization's late founder, Walter Segaloff, were friends before Segaloff died in 2013. Barker shares, "Walter would be so proud that what began as a simple mentoring program through tennis and tutoring has grown into something that is truly changing lives every single day."

By providing numerous resources, such as uniforms and extended academic time, and social and character development classes like conflict resolution, etiquette, standard business communication, and ethics, AAD seeks to develop the whole child. Students also have the opportunity to participate in numerous clubs and field trips, receive soft-skills career preparation from local business partners, and upon graduation, will be eligible for college scholarships.

"The program works and we know that because we have hundreds of graduates who have demonstrated that An Achievable Dream provides the tools needed for young people to compete in business and society. " says Jay Klebanoff, incoming vice chair, whose family have been long-time supporters of An Achievable Dream.

Lee Vreeland, Ed.D., president and CEO of An Achievable Dream shares, "We now have over 800 alumni who have graduated from the program in Newport News and are going on to build incredibly successful careers in everything from medicine to the military. We can't wait to see our brilliant students in Virginia Beach follow this same path to success!"

Bump Boxes launches the Bump Fund for mom-focused companies

Bump Boxes will invest at least $1 million into other mom-focused companies beginning in 2020. This comes after the company has doubled revenue for three consecutive years and grown the team to nearly 50 employees.

Christine Deehring, CEO and co-founder, said that investing in other mom-focused companies is the next step in her vision for the company.

"As we enter our fifth year at Bump Boxes, our continued growth enables us to solve even larger challenges across our industry, including the lack of investment capital for women-focused and even women-owned businesses," Christine Deehring added.

The company will begin investing in early stage startups, immediately, regardless of location.

"We're intentionally interpreting 'mom-focused' as broadly as possible," said Leland Deehring, CIO and co-founder of Bump Boxes. "It could be a company that directly sells to moms or moms-to-be. It could also be a company founded by a mom. What's important is that the entrepreneurs are ambitious about their own growth. Whether they're building an online business, an offline business or some combination of the two, we've got five years of real world experience to share. With Paul involved, we have access to ten additional years of investment experience and thousands of other entrepreneurs that have been enormously successful."

Paul Singh, Bump Boxes CRO and founder of Results Junkies, an investment firm based near Washington, DC that has invested in thousands of entrepreneurs over the last decade, said Bump Boxes will seek out early stage entrepreneurs and make decisions quickly.

"I initially joined the company as an investor but quickly bought into Christine's larger vision," Paul Singh said. "We're in a position to provide capital and functional expertise to other companies, that's exactly what the best entrepreneurs expect today."

The company is expecting to deploy up to $1 million within the first year.

"With Bump Boxes being closely held and Results Junkies being privately owned, we have an enormous amount of flexibility," Paul Singh added. "We'll invest in high growth companies. We'll invest in Main Street companies. What's important is that the entrepreneurs need to be ambitious."

Dana Singh, Partner at Results Junkies, emphasized the Bump Fund's focus on helping mom-led and women-led companies.

"Results Junkies has already been funding women-led companies, and this partnership with Bump Boxes is only going to amplify that further," Dana Singh said. "If you're a mom or you're serving a mom, we want to speak with you. Whether you're high growth or more interested in steady growth, we may have a funding option for you."

"We're founders funding founders," Christine Deehring added. "We're going to empower many more entrepreneurs over the coming years."

BrainStation Launches Digital Marketing Diploma program

BrainStation, the global leader in digital skills training and workforce transformation, is now accepting applications for a new Digital Marketing Diploma Program. Designed to transform skill sets and prepare individuals for careers in digital marketing, the 12-week Digital Marketing Diploma Program will be offered at BrainStation's state-of-the-art campuses. Read latest news here.

"After overwhelming demand for our part-time digital marketing certificate courses, we're very proud to announce the launch of BrainStation's full-time Digital Marketing Diploma Program, which is a natural addition to our suite of diploma programs, including Data Science, User Experience (UX) Design, and Web Development," said Jason Field, BrainStation Founder and CEO.

"More than $270 billion dollars was spent on digital ads around the world last year, which really illustrates the increasing need and demand for digital marketing skills. We worked with hiring partners from some of the most innovative companies to design a Digital Marketing program that truly prepares professionals for these opportunities. This 'by-industry-for-industry' approach has helped us achieve an employment rate of over 97% for our diploma programs around the world," Field said.

Led by educators with experience working in the field, BrainStation's Digital Marketing Diploma Program will provide graduates with a comprehensive understanding of digital marketing strategies, concepts, and techniques, including search engine optimization and marketing, content marketing development and management, email marketing strategy and deployment, social media marketing across all major platforms, data analytics and campaign reporting, and more.

"Like all of BrainStation's Diploma Programs, the Digital Marketing Program is delivered in a dynamic learning environment, built on collaboration and feedback, which gives students the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and work on real-world projects. For over 40 hours a week, they learn and apply new concepts, with an extremely low student-to-teacher ratio – It's common to find classes of 30 students with up to five Educators providing feedback," Field said.

"It's closer to 'on-the-job-training' than 'going-back-to-school,' which means that when you graduate, you'll have the marketing skills and confidence to excel, as well as real portfolio pieces to show off. The ROI is quite clear."

As part of its Diploma Programs, BrainStation offers a range of industry networking opportunities, as well as ongoing career guidance and support, covering resume writing and job applications, personal branding, interview preparation, and more. Graduates are also tapped into BrainStation's exclusive hiring network, which includes hundreds of brands such as Shopify, KPMG, and Microsoft.
