About us
The Hampton Roads Council has three missions: to enhance the morale of active duty personnel and their families; to focus on educating citizens and elected officials about the importance of the Sea Services to our nation's defense and economic well-being; and to support youth through programs, that expose young people to the values of our sea services. We are extremely proud to say that here in Hampton Roads, the Council has commissioned 28 ships to date that have included seven aircraft carriers. We are now working on the 29th commissioning in support of USS John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) which is the second Ford-class aircraft carrier we have supported. The Hampton Roads Council is renowned for hosting outstanding events throughout the year. The Annual Dinner is well known for featuring illustrious speakers and bringing together top Navy, local, state, and federal officials and members of the business community. The Council also holds an annual Ombudsman Appreciation Dinner as well as Congressional Roundtable and participates in the Sailor of the Year program. The Hampton Roads council also educates and empowers military spouses by supporting the CORE (Continuum of Resources and Education) program. Our educational endeavors promote the value, importance and contributions of the sea services.

Today we reflect on and honor the life of President Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States. He lived a life of servitude before, during and after his time in office. A U.S. Navy submariner, President Carter served his country for seven years before returning to his family farm in Georgia, but his desire to make the world a better place did not stop there. Throughout his political career, President Carter fought for equality no matter one's gender or race, becoming a Georgia state senator, governor and eventually the leader of our country. After his time in office, he continued his diplomatic work, advocating for peace around the world. President Carter exemplifies the core standards of the U.S. Navy, the sea services and the American spirit. May he rest in peace with this wife, Eleanor Rosalynn.
