WELCOME
Thank you for your strong commitment to quality and the continual
pursuit of performance excellence. In order to help our employees,
institutions, and businesses thrive in our increasingly competitive
world, it is more essential than ever for organizations to achieve
‘best in class’ results through processes that attract, satisfy, and
engage customers and stakeholders.
The Summit offers something for everyone. Each component
was carefully selected to ensure that all attendees and presenters
walk away with new relationships, useful knowledge, and better
ideas. We are privileged to hear from multiple Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award recipients and additional key leaders
sharing their most effective processes and strategies throughout
the Summit.
The New Mexico Performance Excellence Awards Ceremony will
honor 9 Recipients. These noteworthy organizations are using the
Baldrige tools to bring excellence to their organizations as well as
the State of New Mexico and should be recognized and commended
for their remarkable commitment, demonstrable progress, and
positive results.
Thank you for attending the Learning Summit. We encourage
you to use this opportunity to connect with other pursuers of
excellence, learn and grow so that you and your organization can
achieve your performance goals. Your attendance, dedication, and
accomplishments help make New Mexico the State of Excellence.
THANK YOU SUMMIT COMMITTEE!
