Forefront Awarded BEST PLACE TO WORK in Southeast Michigan
From Service to Success FOREFRONT PARTNERS WITH ARMY PAYS
Heather Torrey | CRM Manager What makes a business truly successful? Of course, financial performance matters. But great companies know that success isn’t just about numbers. It’s also about people. The most successful organizations invest in their teams, create a culture where employees feel valued, and build strong relationships across the board. That’s why we’re excited to share some big news: Forefront has been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Southeast Michigan by Crain’s Detroit Business. We ranked first in the Large Business category and also took home the #1 overall spot across all company sizes. This honor is a proud moment for the entire Forefront team.

Emma Charen | Content & Design Coordinator On July 24, 2025, Forefront proudly hosted a special signing ceremony at its corporate office to mark the official launch of its partnership with the U.S. Army Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) Program. The event was led by Sergeant First Class Somers and Lieutenant Colonel McCart, with Forefront Co-Founders Dan Bowen, CEO, and Ryan Williams, COO, joining to celebrate this important milestone. Phil Rode and James Michael from the office of U.S. Representative John James, representing Michigan’s 10th congressional district, were also in attendance to show their support for the collaboration. The ceremony highlighted the shared values between Forefront and the U.S. Army, emphasizing the program’s mission of helping transitioning service members move into meaningful civilian careers. Lieutenant Colonel McCart opened the event with remarks underscoring the natural connection: “If you look at Forefront… I can’t think of a corporation or an industry that matches better with the military. We’re talking about the facilities industry, medical, culinary... everything that they do is a job we have.” Cont’d on page 3
