The Delaware
Quality Award utilizes the Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Award Criteria as the basis
of its award program. The MBNQA is the highest level of national
recognition for performance excellence. It is based on the
verified management practices of the most successful organizations
in the world.
As a
Delaware Quality Award Examiner, you will receive valuable
training in the MBNQA criteria. You will then have the opportunity
to evaluate organizations who submit applications for the
state’s most prestigious quality award. You also will
conduct a site visit at one of Delaware’s best organizations.
Participating
in this quality process will give you a greater understanding
of the real meaning of a quality organization. Not only will
you add to your own development as a quality professional,
but your own organization will benefit as you implement quality
principles in your daily work.
Volunteering
as a Delaware Quality Award Examiner will provide you with
the satisfaction of contributing to making Delaware a quality
place to live and work. It will also give you the opportunity
to significantly contribute to your own growth and development.
Most organizations within Delaware recognize the value of
the training provided by this process and allow their employees
time away from their regular job to participate as a Delaware
Quality Award Examiner.

this was one of the most rigorous intellectual exercises
in my working life, it was also one of the best. I would
recommend to anyone who is interested in leadership and
organizational accomplishment to give serious consideration
to becoming a Quality Examiner.” |
