The Chamber Ambassadors honored RISE as this week’s Leading Business of the Week.  

Headquartered in Valdosta and rebranded in 2015, the RISE team has been together for 22 years. A student and multi-family housing manager, developer, and investor, RISE has more than 350 employees and over $2.6 Billion in development value.

As an industry leader, RISE pushes the envelope by focusing inwardly on their company’s culture. Faith-based, they treat their employees like family, even calling their main conference room the “Family Room.” Through service and education programs such as the Love. Serve. Care Ambassador Program, they invest in their people as well as the community.

“The Valdosta-Lowndes Chamber serves as a great advocate for businesses within our community. It promotes the professional growth of individuals, companies, and the community alike.” Says Greg Hunter, Chief Financial Officer.
