Welcome to Quality Digest's
2003 State Quality Awards Directory. Not long after implementing
and honing their quality management systems, many organizations
look for a way to measure how their QMS stacks up against
others. Perhaps the best vehicle for accomplishing such
a benchmarking endeavor is applying for a quality award.
Scores of them exist, many based upon the Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award. However, they're not always highly
publicized.
What follows is Quality Digest's 2003 listing of national
and state quality awards. Included in each listing, if provided
to us, are each award's name, eligibility criteria, important
deadlines and administrator's contact information. In order
to provide you the most accurate information possible, we've
only listed awards whose administrators have recently verified
the relevant data. This might mean that your state's quality
award is not listed. If you know of a current state award
not included in this directory, please e-mail all pertinent
information to the address provided below.
Although we've done all we can to ensure we're printing
only accurate information, we nevertheless recommend that
you contact the administrators of any award for which you're
interested in applying to verify important dates, requirements
and other critical information.
We appreciate all feedback regarding our directories.
If you have a suggestion on how we can improve this one
for next year, e-mail it to Directories.
