Performance Excellence Program
Award Recipients |
Award Recipients are required to share non-proprietary information on their successful
performance and quality strategies with other Arizona organizations. By sharing their
strategies, Award recipients make enormous contributions to build awareness of the
importance of quality to improve competitiveness. This sharing has encouraged many other
organizations in all sectors of Arizona to undertake their own quality improvement
efforts. Become an AQA member today and share their results!
