The June General Membership Luncheon meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel. The Guest Speaker will be Dr. Edna Baehre-Kolovani, Ph.D., President of Tidewater Community College.

Industry prefers waterfront property. The discussion in this white paper applies to all types of waterfront industrial facilities. We selected the ship repair industry because it contributes $3.2 billion to the Hampton Roads economy and because a large new condominium development is planned on 10 acres of waterfront property squeezed between two major civilian shipyards on the Elizabeth River in Norfolk.

The May General Membership Luncheon meeting was held on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel. The luncheon featured presentation of the annual Virginia Ship Repair Foundation Tradesperson of the Year Awards, sponsored by PNC Bank. These awards honor the "best of the best" ship repairers in Hampton Roads.

Access to cash is critical at the loss of a business owner, partner or key person. A buy-sell agreement is a contract among owners to buy a deceased owner’s stock/shares of the business at a previously agreed upon price (or valuation method) in the event of death, disability or retirement. Life insurance can be an inexpensive way to fund buy-sell agreements as well as to protect against the loss of a key employee.
