Company Description

Our History and Mission

Marine Corps spouse, Debbie Mayberry, laid the foundation for The Bowen Group in 2004 during her husband’s deployment to Iraq. Guided by her passion for service and her knowledge of the needs of the military community, Debbie used her wellness expertise, counseling background and military-spouse experience to open doors as she began to “serve those who serve.” What started as a small operation at her kitchen table — developing the Department of Defense’s first casualty-assistance guide to help military spouses understand and access their benefits after the military service-related death of a loved one — quickly morphed into a need for more manpower and more space to handle her rapidly growing company.

As Bowen expanded, we have attracted a diverse, talented team who shared her passion for strengthening the health and wellness of military service members, veterans, and their families.

Today, The Bowen Group is a recognized expert in military family support. We share the common mission of providing best-in-class solutions for our customers.
