“I am grateful to have had the chance to be a Baldrige Examiner. A good deal of work is required, but the return on investment is huge. I can’t think of a better experience for enhancing your career – I’ve gained in-depth knowledge of the Baldrige Criteria and how high-performing organizations are using them, while developing valuable teamwork and analytical skills. The people you meet are top-notch, the exposure to different industries and business models expands your horizons, and best of all, it is a lot of fun!”
