Maryland Performance Excellence Awards Program Information
Since 1983, Maryland’s U.S. Senators have honored the quality, productivity and business achievements of Maryland organizations by presenting the Senate Productivity Awards for Maryland. In 1997, they built on these prestigious awards by creating the 1997 Maryland Quality Awards — a new and expanded recognition and learning process for leading Maryland organizations. Both the Senate Productivity and Maryland Quality Awards are offered through the Maryland Performance Excellence Awards Program, part of MTECH.
ASQ Baltimore has been a proud supporter and sponsor of Maryland Performance Excellence Awards Program, and for the May program, holds a Dinner Program where our members can hear the stories of that year’s winners.
For further information, check out our Calendar page to review the deadlines, look at ASQ Baltimore’s MPEA Information page, or the MPEA home page, http://www.mpea.umd.edu/.
