When honorees at the West Michigan’s Best and Brightest Companies To Work For gathered at the JW Marriott on May 7, it was with a sense of anticipation and excitement as well as a new theme—Wake up with the Stars.
With some 600 attendees at the event and two great presentations, one from Matt Jung of Comfort Research, the other from Dr. Rhae-Ann Booker (formerly of Davenport University and now with Metro Health of the University of Michigan), this event was exceptional in every possible way.
Extending the movie theme right through two networking breaks/intermissions, attendees were treated to popcorn and movie theater size candy that made this event a very special one indeed.
As the Best and Brightest Companies To Work For series of events become ever more popular across the country, we invite you to celebrate with us as we extend our congratulations to the winners.
