Please join us in congratulating the June 2023 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 Jessica Rounds, PSAP Counselor, as the June Rise to the Extra Mile recipient.
Jessica is always willing to take on extra responsibilities, such as assisting with training new staff, mentoring others and filling in when staff is absent. She is wholeheartedly committed to providing compassionate support to the individuals were serve and often puts the needs of the program before her own.
Congratulations Jessica! We appreciate your hard work and dedication.

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.
