HAMPTON—The Virginia Air & Space Science Center (VASSC) in Hampton will soon undergo several leadership changes.

The changes come following the center’s annual Board of Directors meeting on Tuesday, July 26 and were first announced on July 27. Joseph Ritchie, president of Ritchie Curbow Construction in Newport News, is stepping down as president of the VASSC board after four years, though he will remain on as a board member. Dr. Jeffery Smith, who is currently the superintendent of Hampton City Schools, was elected by the board to take over the spot vacated by Ritchie’s departure.

“My staff and I could not be more grateful for the strong leadership of our outgoing president and the generosity of the Ritchie family, and we welcome the astute and visionary leadership of Dr. Smith,” said Robert Griesmer, executive director and CEO of the Virginia Air & Space Science Center in a press release.

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there's a paywall.

So if you don't want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we're going to ease you into this. Initially, there won't be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us a note at feedback@peninsulachronicle.com.

The Peninsula Chronicle reports on business news on the Virginia Peninsula, from Williamsburg to Newport News and Hampton.
