ACCESS Commercial hosted their fourth annual ACCESS Open event benefiting Folds of Honor on Thursday, September 26th, 2024. This tournament at Stone Creek Golf Course in Omaha was supported by 38 sponsors and 224 golfers; together, these sponsors and participants raised $125,000 for Folds of Honor.

Folds of Honor is a national nonprofit that has been meaningful to ACCESS for many years. The donation raised for Folds of Honor will go directly toward scholarships for the spouses and children of fallen or disabled American military service members and first responders. Folds of Honor is proud to have a cumulative average ratio of ninety-one percent of every dollar raised going to their scholarship program, meaning each donation has a great direct impact on the recipients.

ACCESS met their goal of $125,000 raised, in collaboration with sponsors and network partners. With all four years combined, over $400,000 in scholarships have been provided to families through Folds of Honor and The ACCESS Open.

In attendance this year was Michelle Landes, Regional Impact Officer with Folds of Honor, and Sydney Long, former Folds of Honor scholarship recipient and local University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumni. Sydney’s father, Mark, served in the military for 23 outstanding years.

This event was made possible because of the generosity and support of several sponsoring organizations, including: 

Rooforia Home & Commercial Exteriors, Ringenberg & Rattner Law, E & A Consulting Group, EGiS Technologies, Titanium Fire Sprinkler, MONTAGE Builders, Matt Dougherty State Farm Agency, SNC Contractors, Nienaber Electrical, Sower Commercial, Hausmann Construction, Dundee Bank, Marcus & Millichap, Gallagher Insurance, Commercial Title Services, BuilderTrend, Thompson, Dreessen & Dorner, Inc., Ruff Grading, Kelly’s Carpet Omaha, Lutz, DP Management, Security National Bank, Skradski Heating & Cooling, Morrissey Engineering, Holland Basham Architects, National Concrete Cutting, PML Construction, Bland Cares Foundation, City Wide Facility Solutions, EverLine Coatings and Services, Havenview Residential Communities, American Recognition, Corwin Toyota of Bellevue, Digital Express, Regal Awards, Blue Sky Patio & Pickleball, and Rick Kiolbasa.

We’re thrilled to announce another successful ACCESS Onboarding Week, which took place November 14-15. This event is more than just an introduction to ACCESS – it’s a deep dive into the DNA of our company, laying the foundation for success and growth of our team.

Designed for new and recent hires, this week provides a holistic overview of our company’s values and culture, helping employees gain a deep understanding of what makes our organization unique. Our goal is that this shared knowledge gives a sense of belonging and helps align employees with our mission and future vision.

We implemented Onboarding Week this year, with a very positive response thus far from our new and recent hires. This is just one way we’re investing in our team to help them find success and fulfillment in their real estate career.

Providing our team with opportunities to learn about our clients is another integral part of Onboarding Week. With lunch at Twisted Cork and happy hour at Blue Sky Patio & Pickleball in Regency Landing, we’re able to connect with and support our clients and allow our team to see the tangible impact they have on our community. 

We had our new team members, as well as a few familiar faces, participate in this Onboarding Week. We’re excited to introduce you to:
