New MPEF Organization and Website
The Maryland Performance Excellence Awards Program has left the University of Maryland, and is now under the control of a new foundation, the Maryland Performance Excellence Foundation, Inc.
The Maryland Performance Excellence Foundation (MPEF) is a newly-incorporated non-profit organization that serves the people and organizations of Maryland by advancing performance excellence through education and training, assessment and feedback, leadership and advocacy, networking and sharing of best practices, and recognition. Its vision is that Maryland will be home to the nation’s highest performing organizations, elevating the quality of life for all who live and work in the State.
Their new website is now located at Maryland Performance Excellence Foundation.
ASQ Baltimore Section 502 is a proud supporter of the original MPEA, the new MPEF and the Performance Excellence Users Group.
ASQ Baltimore will be slowly changing over all references on ASQBaltimore.org from MPEA to the new foundation and website. Thank you for your patience.
