The AQA Award Program annually recognizes Arizona
organizations for their performance excellence. The program has been expanded to offer two types of awards:
State Quality Award
(Governor’s
and Pioneer)
The State Quality Award program continues to use the current year
Baldrige National Quality Program criteria but has major differences from the
national program in how the process is implemented.
- Any organization can apply: public or private; any economic sector;
small, medium or large
- There is an option to submit an application for Feedback Only.
- Every applicant seeking an award will receive a site visit
Benefits of Participation
AQA is proud to offer this additional opportunity for recognition to the
Arizona State Quality Award Program. Focusing more on specific
organizational processes, we are confident that this program provides
opportunities for participation from organizations that have not
traditionally been involved.
