Best of the Best Lists: Exciting Changes Ahead

At ConnectComm Magazine, our Best of the Best lists have long-recognized companies and schools that go above and beyond in fostering inclusive workplaces and institutions driving impactful initiatives. As we continue to evolve, we are restructuring our approach to better align with our newly refined format.

With these enhancements in mind, we decided to pause the Best of the Best lists for 2025, but are moving forward in 2026 with Top STEM Schools and Top Disability Employers surveys and evaluations. We have refined our research methodology to ensure we deliver the most accurate, comprehensive, and impactful rankings yet. Given the evolving landscape and current industry shifts, we are taking this opportunity to reimagine and elevate how we recognize organizations leading the way in recruitment, enrollment, supplier engagement and workplace culture.

Our U.S. Veterans Magazine‘s Best of the Best recognition lists continue as planned, recognizing employers, supplier programs, and schools that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to hiring, supporting, and working with veterans. If your organization would like to be considered, please be sure to submit a survey to be included in our rankings.

We appreciate your continued support and enthusiasm for the Best of the Best rankings, and we are excited to bring them back stronger than ever in 2026—with deeper insights, enhanced research, and an even greater focus on industry leadership. Stay tuned for updates as we work to deliver new and improved Best of the Best experience!
