The AQA Award Program annually recognizes Arizona organizations for their performance excellence. The program has been expanded to offer two types of awards:

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.

  1. Any organization can apply: public or private; any economic sector; small, medium or large
  2. There is an option to submit an application for Feedback Only. 
  3. 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.
