The Forum for Excellence is SPQA's annual conference featuring learning and networking for individuals and organizations interested in advancing their performance excellence journeys using Baldrige concepts, principles, and processes. Forum participants benefit from interacting with representatives from the national Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, with national Baldrige Award winners, and with representatives of organizations that are participating in SPQA’s various programs and services. Speakers share their knowledge and experiences – successes and challenges – in plenaries, workshops, and concurrent sessions.
We also honor and recognize the organizations that participated in the current year’s SPQA Award and self-assessment programs and recognize and acknowledge the many dedicated volunteers who examine, mentor, and provide other assistance to SPQA to help ensure its ongoing ability to meet its mission: to promote continual improvement strategies and to provide training, mentoring, and recognition to organizations in pursuit of performance excellence. The recognition event is complimentary, but registration is required.
In these extraordinary times, the 2020 SPQA Forum for Excellence is entirely virtual.
