Out of more than 2,800 nominations, the 2011 American Business Awards names Rising's CEO Jason Beans, a finalist for Executive of the Year, for the second year in a row; Rising's Director of Marketing Rachel Fikes, a finalist for Marketer of the Year; and the company's You-Make-It-Happen video, up for motivational video of the year.

"What separates mediocre leadership from superior leadership is the team they select and retain," says Rising's CEO Jason Beans. "Rising's team is passionate about building a better healthcare system. This recognition reflects their ideas, innovations and executions."

One such talent Beans has retained for the past seven years is Fikes, again not only up for Marketer of the Year, but also the brain behind the You-Make-It-Happen motivational video. "Rising allows its marketing team to take a departure from the norm, infuse the unconventional and inspire our customers," says Fikes. "I'm fortunate. I not only work for company that's creating change, but our customers are also making a difference and that's why we made the You-Make-It-Happen video."

This inspirational video thanked Claims Professionals nationwide that deserve recognition. Every day, they wade through trillions of dollars of medical expenses, working to ensure that appropriate medical care is delivered at the right price.  The video also shows all parties concerned with healthcare's rising costs how medical cost containment works and how it helps provide more affordable, accessible and quality care.

The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. This year's Stevie Award winners will be announced during the annual gala on Monday, June 20 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Among the many companies that join Rising in the competition are: Microsoft Corporation, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, AT&T, American Express and Tesla Motors.
