Letter from the Co-Founder & CEO
During this past decade, we’ve experienced extraordinary growth and change here at The AACTrust thanks largely to our continued commitment to teamwork, technology-focused strategies and to our policy of placing the trust of our students above all else. We’ve successfully reached key milestones, improved our graduation rate drastically, increased our outreach to AACPS, met our goals for student to mentor match, and developed initiatives, such as mentor / student training. We also strengthened our position as one of the premier college bound developers of student service foundations in the County .
Even in the face of challenging economic conditions, we’re finding new ways to take advantage of the evolving industry landscape to ensure Annapolis & Anne Arundel County Scholarship Trust remains the brightest light on the hill.
The upcoming years will be exciting as we continue to broaden our collaboration efforts and move from promise-driven to mission-driven. We’ve set increasingly ambitious goals for ourselves, but we have the intense vision and in kind resources to achieve them. We have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to bring specialty initiatives to niche markets, and we know the steps we need to take are simply an extension of what we have been doing successfully since our inception. Simultaneously, we plan to continue responding to Academic and social challenges and to expand our lines of services to enhanced student services in order to engage a wider student base. Consequently, we have set an aggressive timeline for the development of new programs and services to fulfill our commitment of "total lifting solution."
One of our students has described our multi-decade success story as, "more a marathon than a sprint." We take pride in this characterization and embrace it as the philosophy for our operations and planning. A successful program is built on sustainable, reliable growth, so we’ll happily choose a strong, steadfast burn over a momentary flash any day. In recent years, we’ve grown the AACTrust substantially, yet managed to never waiver from our promise to deliver the very best Programs & Services to our valued students .
I praise each of our board members , students , mentors and my Co-Founder Crispin Etherington for making these past years such an exhilarating success, even in turbulent times. I would also like to extend my thanks to our Linda Mundy for her unfailing devotion, responsibility, guidance and support, without which our flame would surely have burnt itself out long ago.
Best Regards,
