Ora Nation – Man of Steel – Featured in the Oglethorpe Echo
NATION’S CAREER AT RAINWATER CONSTRUCTION SPANS 67 YEARS
When Ora Nation began his career at Rainwater Construction back in 1957, he was a fresh-faced 18-year-old in search of his first job. After spending his childhood on a 212-acre farm in Oglethorpe County, he moved to Atlanta and was hired on at Rainwater as an entry-level steel erector. Back then, nobody knew that his choice to join our team would result in a lifelong career that is still going strong after 67 years. But now, so many decades later, his loyalty and dedication reflect a journey that few can claim. His hometown newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo, recently took a moment to honor his outstanding career with a front-page feature detailing his dedication, growth and success as he progressively took on more responsibility and became one of the most knowledgeable and successful salespeople in Rainwater’s long and storied history.
A CAREER ARC FEW CAN CLAIM
Throughout his career, Ora has been an instrumental part of Rainwater’s growth, leading his own steel erection and concrete crews for more than 15 years and eventually moving into the sales department, where his experience, know-how and personability helped him develop client relationships that have resulted in success that far exceeds the norm.
With an ethic passed down from his father that emphasized hard work and loyalty as cornerstones, Ora secured an unmatched level of trust with his clients that resulted in one client relying on Rainwater for the construction of more than 85 buildings. For his efforts and dedication, Ora has the singular honor of being Butler Manufacturer’s only recipient of their lifetime achievement award. In addition, his unique accomplishment caught the eye of Georgia Governor, Brian Kemp, also an Oglethorpe County native, who sent Ora a personal note of congratulation upon reading the feature in his hometown newspaper.
WE HONOR ORA NATION FOR HIS DEDICATION AND SERVICE
Here at Rainwater, we are grateful for Ora’s continual service, workmanship, and calm under pressure.
