About
FROM AL FABER - AS PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE FOUNDATION FOR THE MALCOLM BALDRIGE NATIONAL QUALITY AWARD, IT IS AN HONOR CELEBRATING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BALDRIGE COMMUNITY DURING FISCAL YEAR 2018. TO ALL THE DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS, EXAMINERS, JUDGES, STATE PROGRAM LEADERS AND THEIR BOARDS, AS WELL AS THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM STAFF, THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR FILLED WITH ACHIEVEMENT AND PROGRESS IN PURSUIT OF PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE. AND TO THOSE IN THE GREATER BALDRIGE COMMUNITY - CONSULTANTS, MEMBERS OF ASQ, AND OTHER BALDRIGE-BASED ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION - THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND COLLABORATION. THIS HAS BEEN A HISTORIC YEAR FOR BALDRIGE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2011, THE BALDRIGE PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE PROGRAM IS BACK IN THE FEDERAL BUDGET. RESTORING THE GOVERNMENT'S COMMITMENT TO OUR PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATION'S NUMBER ONE PRIORITY SINCE 2014. OUR STRATEGY TO ENGAGE WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, COUPLED WITH SUPPORT FROM INFLUENTIAL LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE BALDRIGE COMMUNITY WHO HELP TELL OUR STORY, HAS RESULTED IN A RENEWED COMMITMENT TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM. THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM'S MISSION IS PRECISELY ALIGNED WITH NIST AND THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE. THIS PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, WHICH IMPROVES THE PERFORMANCE AND COMPETITIVENESS OF U.S. ORGANIZATIONS, HAS AN ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MORE THAN ONE BILLION-DOLLARS ANNUALLY, AS NOTED BY SECRETARY OF COMMERCE WILBUR L. ROSS IN HIS REMARKS DURING THE 2017 AWARDS CEREMONY. THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM HAD ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN 2018, MANAGING THE AWARDS PROCESS AND DELIVERING EXCEPTIONAL TRAINING EXPERIENCES LIKE THE BALDRIGE EXECUTIVE FELLOWS PROGRAM AND NATIONAL EXAMINER TRAINING. IN FY18, THE BALDRIGE EXECUTIVE FELLOWS PROGRAM WAS ONCE AGAIN RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE VERY BEST BY LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE AND DEVELOPMENT AWARDS (LEAD) IN THEIR EDUCATION CATEGORIES FOR EMPHASIS ON HUMAN RESOURCES AND LEADERSHIP/ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM IS THE ONLY STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAM TO BE CONSISTENTLY RECOGNIZED IN LEAD AWARD CATEGORIES. THIS YEAR, MORE THAN TWENTY-FIVE HIGH-PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS APPLIED FOR THE NATION'S HIGHEST HONOR FOR PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE AND THE ONLY AWARD FOR QUALITY THAT CARRIES THE SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AFTER A DEMANDING AND THOROUGH ANALYSIS, FIVE ORGANIZATIONS EMERGED AS NATIONAL ROLE-MODEL ORGANIZATIONS AND THIS YEAR'S MALCOLM BALDRIGE NATIONAL QUALITY AWARD RECIPEINTS: ALAMO COLLEGES DISTRICT, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (EDUCATION); DONOR ALLIANCE, DENVER, COLORADO (NONPROFIT); INTEGRATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC., BURR RIDGE, ILLINOIS (SMALL BUSINESS); MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND HEALTH CARE CENTER, JASPER, INDIANA (HEALTH CARE); TRI COUNTY TECH, BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA (EDUCATION) CONGRATULATIONS TO EACH OF THESE STELLAR ORGANIZATIONS. ADVOCACY THROUGHOUT 2018, THE FOUNDATION CONTINUED TO CHAMPION THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM, STATE-BASED PROGRAMS, AND COMMUNITIES OF EXCELLENCE 2026 WITH LEADERS AT THE NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS. EARLY IN THE YEAR WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE NEW COMMERCE, JUSTICE, SCIENCE AND RELATED AGENCIES CHAIRMAN IN THE U.S. SENATE, SENATOR JERRY MORAN OF KANSAS. IT WAS A TRUE PLEASURE TO MEET WITH THIS GREAT LEADER AND WELCOME HIM INTO THIS NEW POSITION WHICH OVERSEES THE BUDGET FOR THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM. SENATOR MORAN RECALLED A DISCUSSION WITH HIS SPOUSE FROM THE EVENING PRIOR TO OUR MEETING WHERE THEY WERE DISCUSSING MAC BALDRIGE AND HIS SISTER LETITIA BALDRIGE'S BOOKS ON MANNERS. HE REMEMBERS MAC AND THE IMPACT HE MADE WHILE SERVING AS SECRETARY OF COMMERCE. THE SENATOR WAS ESPECIALLY EAGER TO LEARN ABOUT NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COMMUNITIES OF EXCELLENCE AND CYBERSECURITY AREAS. WE HAVE RECEIVED STRONG BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IN THE SENATE FROM BOTH SENATOR MORAN AS THE CHAIRMAN, AND SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN THE RANKING MEMBER OF THE CJS SUBCOMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS. IN FACT, ALL OF THE SENATORS WE HAVE ENGAGED WITH ON THE CJS SUBCOMMITTEE HAVE INDICATED THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS. OVER THIS PAST YEAR, WE HAVE INVESTED A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND EFFORT IN HELPING THE ALABAMA STATE PROGRAM TO GET BACK UP AND RUNNING AFTER IT HAD BEEN DORMANT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. LINDA VINCENT, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HAS BEEN WORKING TIRELESSLY THROUGHOUT THE STATE, BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR NEW ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT AND APPLICANTS, TRAINING EXAMINERS AND JUDGES, AND GROWING THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. I ATTENDED THEIR STATE CONFERENCE AND AWARDS BANQUET AND IT WAS A GREAT EVENT WITH FOUR INITIAL AWARD RECIPIENTS I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING WITH THEIR BOARD CHAIR, CHARLIE BLASS AND OTHER BOARD MEMBERS TO DISCUSS HOW THE FOUNDATION COULD HELP GROW THEIR PROGRAM. I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AS A JUDGE FOR THE HEALTH ADMINISTRATION CASE COMPETITION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM (UAB). GRADUATE STUDENTS FROM COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES COMPETE IN A RIGOROUS PROCESS TO OFFER IDEAS ON IMPROVING QUALITY AND ACCESS TO A RURAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. IT WAS EXCITING TO DISCUSS THE BALDRIGE FRAMEWORK WITH THESE FUTURE LEADERS AND PROVIDE THEM ANOTHER TOOL IN THEIR LEADERSHIP AND ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE. IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGHOUT ALABAMA, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT ONE PERSON HAD MADE A SUSTAINED IMPACT ON QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE IN THAT STATE, SENATOR RICHARD SHELBY. HE KNEW MAC BALDRIGE AND SUPPORTED THE PROGRAM FROM ITS INCEPTION TO INCLUDE HELPING TO START A STATE-BASED PROGRAM IN ALABAMA. HE ALSO ATTENDED PREVIOUS STATE CONFERENCES AND AWARD CEREMONIES, CONGRATULATING RECIPIENTS AND SERVING AS A CHAMPION AND AMBASSADOR FOR QUALITY AND BALDRIGE THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THIS YEAR, THE FOUNDATION WILL RECOGNIZE SENATOR SHELBY FOR HIS LIFE-LONG COMMITMENT TO QUALITY WITH THE E. DAVID SPONG LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, OUR HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL HONOR FOR PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE. CONGRATULATIONS TO SENATOR SHELBY AND ALL THE GREAT VOLUNTEERS, EXAMINERS, JUDGES AND STAFF IN THE ALABAMA PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE PROGRAM (ALPEX) WE ALSO WORK HARD TO COLLABORATE WITH ALL FEDERAL AGENCIES IN WASHINGTON, DC. IN FEBRUARY, I SERVED AS A PANELIST IN THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) RURAL DEVELOPMENT NATIONAL STAKEHOLDER FORUM. HERE, I WAS PROMOTING COMMUNITIES OF EXCELLENCE 2026 (COE2026) INITIATIVES IN NW MISSOURI AND THE BALDRIGE FRAMEWORK TO HELP RURAL COMMUNITIES COME TOGETHER AND STRENGTHEN THEIR REGIONS. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH USDA FOR POTENTIAL GRANT OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP EXPAND AND GROW THE USE OF BALDRIGE AND THE COE2026 FRAMEWORKS. USDA IS ONE OF MANY AGENCIES WE ARE ENGAGED WITH AS WE CONTINUE OUR CAMPAIGN OF STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. TO HELP BUILD GRASS ROOTS SUPPORT FOR OUR EFFORTS AND ALIGN THE BALDRIGE COMMUNITY, THE FOUNDATION CREATED A QUARTERLY WEBINAR SERIES IN 2018. FOR YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A NEED FOR MORE COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION ACROSS THE BALDRIGE COMMUNITY. THE WEBINARS ARE FREE, AND DESIGNED TO INFORM, EDUCATE, AND SYNCHRONIZE OUR EFFORTS. IN ADDITION TO FOUNDATION INFORMATION, THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM AND ALLIANCE HAVE SEGMENTS TO SHARE KEY INFORMATION THAT KEEP OUR STAKEHOLDERS UPDATED AND ENGAGED. FILLING A LONG-OVERDUE GAP, THEY HAVE BECOME AN IDEAL COMMUNICATION TOOL AND ATTENDANCE HAS GROWN STEADILY EACH QUARTER. FUNDRAISING FIRST AND FOREMOST, THANKS TO ALL OUR INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL DONORS, SPONSORS, AND PARTNERS OVER THE PAST YEAR. DURING 2018, THE BALDRIGE FOUNDATION CONTINUED ITS TRANSFORMATION INTO A MORE SUCCESSFUL AND SUSTAINABLE FUNDRAISING ORGANIZATION AND ADVOCATE FOR THE BALDRIGE PROGRAM. WE ARE GROWING CORPORATE INTEREST IN SPONSORSHIPS FOR THE QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE CONFERENCE AND HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF CHANNEL PARTNERSHIPS JOINING WALDEN UNIVERSITY, BEYOND FEEDBACK, THE SYNERGY ORGANIZATION, SOAR VISION GROUP, AND AMAZONSMILE. WE CONTINUE TO CULTIVATE MAJOR GIFTS AND STRENGTHEN CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL GIVING TO INCLUDE ONLINE DONATIONS AS PART OF NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS LIKE GIVINGTUESDAY. WE ARE ALSO SUPPORTING STATE-BASED PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE ALLIANCE FOR PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE AND RAISED 85 PERCENT OF THEIR TOTAL SPONSORSHIP INCOME FOR THE 2018 BALDRIGE FALL CONFERENCE IN DENVER LAST YEAR WE EXPANDED OUR INDIVIDUAL AWARDS PROGRAM TO INCLUDE THE FOUNDATION AWARDS FOR LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE AND THE DR. CURT REIMANN BALDRIGE SCHOLARSHIP. THE BALDRIGE FOUNDATION AWARDS FOR LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE RECOGNIZE LEADERS IN THE BUSINESS (MANUFACTURING, SERVICE, SMALL BUSINESS), NONPROFIT, GOVERNMENT, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, AND CYBERSECURITY SECTORS. THE AWARD RECOGNIZES LEADERS WHO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONALLY OUTSTANDING SUPPORT TO BALDRIGE AND THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION. THE DR. CURT REIMANN BALDRIGE SCHOLARSHIP PROVIDES RECIPIENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE BALDRIGE EXAMINER TRAINING EXPERIENCE, HELD EACH SPRING AT NIST IN GAITHERSBURG, MD. THE SCHOLARSHIP WAS CREATED TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE IMPO
