(Undated) -- Des Moines Area Community College has been named by Forbes Magazine as the best place to work in Iowa. The Number "One" ranking is up from the #9 ranking last year from Forbes. The rankings are based on a survey of more than 80-thousand employees working for large employers.

DMACC Human Resources Executive Director Jenifer Owenson echoed Denson’s comments that DMACC is a best place to work because of the dedication and commitment of its employees.
“The DMACC HR Department has a vision of becoming a ‘preferred employer,’” Owenson said. “Recognitions, like the one from Forbes, indicate that we are collectively on the path to becoming a successful, diverse, and quality workplace where employees are willing and able to carry out DMACC’s mission. We’re well recognized because of that reputation.It’s enhanced our ability to attract and hire top talent.”
