Laura Chambers has worked for Rise for three years and CFO Tom Haglund says that in that time, “Laura has scrutinized expenses and saved the organization thousands of dollars by securing better deals.  She also keeps the bills and payments organized and maintains excellent vendor relationships.  Laura is professional and cares so much about the people we serve and the Rise mission. She also takes time to be caring and supportive teammate.”

“I wanted to work somewhere that makes a difference and that you can see a change in what you do every day, that what you can provide really makes a difference in the big picture. I love the way the people we serve are always first and foremost in everyone’s minds. We all know that the reason we are here is to support them in becoming the best version of themselves and we will do what we can to help them fulfill that. Honestly, every day at Rise is a good day!”

Proud parents of two grown sons and a daughter, Laura and “wonderful” husband Shane are recent empty-nesters. She looks forward to more travel, reading great books, and seeing what the next chapter brings.
