November 2022 Staff Recognitions

Please join us in congratulating the November Recognition Recipients!

Rise to the Extra Mile Recognition

The Rise to the Extra Mile Recognition is given to highly motivated individuals who go that extra mile in their job. Rise to the Extra Mile honorees get to park in a designated parking space at the RISE administration office.

Congratulations to Adam Riemer, Development Director, as the November Rise to the Extra Mile recognition recipient. Adam poured his heart into preparations for RISE’s first big fundraiser, The Rocky Horror Picture Show at UPH. He was able to field every curveball thrown at him and attended to every minute detail, all while planning his own wedding! (Congratulations!) The event was a phenomenal success, thanks in no small part to his efforts.

Rise to the Occasion Recognition

The Rise to the Occasion Recognition is given to individuals who see a need within the agency and go above and beyond to fill that need.

Congratulations to the Rocky Horror Picture Show Planning Committee members, as the November Rise to the Occasion Recognition Recipients. Lindsey Connors, Melodie Masterson, Janessa Ellmers, Liz McFarren, and Rik Jordan put in endless hours and pulled off an amazing event! Thank you for volunteering so much time to support our agency in such an awesome way!
