U.S. Veterans Magazine’s annual Best of the Best evaluations

THE PROCESS

At U.S. Veterans Magazine, we are proud to present our annual Best of the Best awards—a trusted resource designed to help veterans, transitioning service members, military spouses and military-connected families identify organizations and institutions committed to their success.

Each year, our Best of the Best recognition lists spotlight employers, schools and supplier programs that demonstrate a meaningful commitment to serving the military community. These honorees represent a broad range of industries and sectors, but they share a common goal: creating environments where veterans and military-connected individuals can learn, grow and thrive.

Our evaluations are based on independent research, publicly available information and materials submitted during the review period. Depending on the category, factors considered may include recruitment and retention initiatives, education benefits, career development opportunities, workplace culture, professional growth programs, supplier engagement efforts and demonstrated support for military-connected communities.

Because programs and priorities evolve over time, recognition reflects an organization’s commitment at the time of evaluation. Readers are encouraged to confirm specific offerings and eligibility requirements directly with participating organizations and institutions.

As our President & Publisher, Mona Lisa Faris, emphasizes, “When organizations recognize and invest in the military community, they strengthen not only individual lives, but also the future of their workplaces, campuses and communities.”
